Every author has their own unique process for writing their book. Divine inspiration comes in many forms, and sharing your faith-based story with the world can result in a manuscript that is unconventionally assembled. Whether it is handwritten pages or assorted pages of a Word document, Cloverly Christian will make sure your manuscript is ready to go from the very beginning of the editorial process.
After getting in touch with one of Cloverly Christian’s literary agents, you will receive information about submitting your work for approval. After we receive and approve your submission for publication with our Christian platform, our team makes sure your manuscript is properly formatted for our editors to review.
Manuscript format for submission
We understand that you might not have a conventional manuscript ready to submit to us. As long as we are able to clearly read and understand your writing as you send it, we will be able to begin the review process. Further along in the process, however, we will need your manuscript in a Word document.
Cloverly Christian is here to help those who need it. If you submit a handwritten manuscript to us and we accept your submission for publication, our transcription team will work with you to create a single Word document. That is why it is always preferable, but not mandatory, to initially submit your book as a Word document.
The importance of a Word document for editorial review
All of our books go through a thorough editorial review. Our experienced team of editors reviews your manuscript from top to bottom to make suggestions, both with grammar and content. This process is done directly on Microsoft Word.
No edits to your manuscript will be finalized without your approval, which is where Microsoft Word comes in handy again. Directly on Word, our editors can track their suggested changes in real time. You then receive the updated document with the suggested comments or corrections then have the choice to approve or reject each and every one.
It’s time to submit!
No matter where you wrote your story down, it can be submitted, just make sure we can clearly read it. We will work with you from the moment you sign your agreement with us to get your manuscript in the proper format for review.
