The Stages of the Publishing Process

• Typically, it takes about one year to publish a
  book as it is a complex, multi-stage process.
  However, the timeline of the publishing process
  depends on other factors too. For instance, if
  the author has established a relationship with
  the publishing company or is acquainted with all
  the stages of publishing, he/she may need not
  wait for a year.

First Steps Acquisition and Editing

• First, the author sends his/her manuscript to
  multiple publishers.
• The interested publisher then discusses the
  potential of the authors work with its
  acquisitions team.
• Once the publisher and the author signs a
  contract, the manuscript will go through an
  editing process, which includes structural
  editing, content editing, and technical editing

First Steps Acquisition and Editing

• Structural editing focuses on how a manuscript
  is organized.
• Content editing refers to reviewing the
  manuscript for factual accuracy, logical flow,
  transitions, wording, etc.
• Technical editing makes the manuscript free of
  grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors.
• Once the author accepts the editorial changes,
  the next step of designing, typesetting, and
  proofreading begins.

• The publisher will liaise with the author for
  choosing a cover design, a font style, etc., to
  create a book draft that looks visually
  appealing.
• The manuscript will be proofread to ensure it is
  free of language and grammatical errors.
•  
• Once the author finalizes the book draft, it is
  time to move on to the final steps of the
  publishing process.

  to achieve maximum readership.
