The Life to Legacy Publishing Process
Our publishing journey begins with a simple call or email inquiry about your book project. We start with an initial consultation to understand your vision and discuss the best publishing approach for your goals. Once production begins, we tailor our services to your project’s needs—whether you require editing, design, or marketing support. Thanks to our streamlined process, your book can be published in as little as three months, depending on the services required. This hands-on, efficient approach ensures that every author receives the guidance and support needed to turn their manuscript into a finished publication. Over the years, we have proudly published works for a diverse range of authors, including pastors, business leaders, celebrities, and new voices, making Life to Legacy a trusted partner for writers nationwide.
01
All manuscripts must be in Microsoft Word (not PDFs), be double-spaced, one inch margins left, right, top, and bottom, a table of contents, chapters numbered with titles, pages numbered and spell checked and proof read.
02
Manuscript Development: Once we have the manuscript, it will need to be both proofread and edited.
03
Once the manuscript is edited, it will be returned to the author for final approval to make any necessary changes.
04
Once the manuscript is approved by the author, it will then be transformed into a Text Galley also known as Text Proofs. Text Proofs are what the book will actually look like in book form. Once this is completed, the Text Galley will be forwarded to the author for final approval before the book goes to print.
05
Cover design: During this step, your front and back covers will be designed and forwarded to you for final approval.
06
Once the book is printed, sample copies will be forwarded to the author for their final inspection and approval.
07
After the author has approved the finished book, they can order copies of the book through the Life to Legacy.
The price you will pay to purchase copies of your book from Life to Legacy can only be determined after the book has been completed. However, your cost to print copies will be low enough to maximize your profit margins.
