At
Creative House International Press
our goal is to help you to become a published author.
Listed below are some important questions and answers to
help guide you through the process. If you have any
more questions or comments, please feel free to contact us
at
Submission@CreativeHousePress.com,
or call us at (512) 550-4582.
What will it
cost me to get published?
No. We do not charge you to
get your book published. We are a traditional
publishing house not a self publishing or ego publishing
firm.
Not sure if
your book is worth publishing?
You can have from 5 to 20 members of our
Readers Club read your manuscript and respond to a
customized questionnaire. This will help you get a
feel for what the general public thinks about your
work, and guide you in your decision as to whether
or not to publish your book. For more information,
please e-mail our sales staff at
Sales@CreativeHousePress.com
What about my copyrights?
Depending on the avenue you
choose for your work, we may ask to hold the
copyrights for up to five years. During the
initial setup, our staff will work closely with
you to guide you through the process and
determine the route best suited to handle your
work.
How long will it take for
my book to be in print?
Your book can go from manuscript
to print in as little as two weeks. However, we
don’t recommend this. We will take whatever
amount of time may be necessary to make sure
your book is as good as it can possibly be
before it goes to print. Based on the feedback
from the Readers Club,
our editors our
discussions with YOU, we will determine the
timeline necessary to bring your book into print
form.
How much input do I have
in the creation of my book?
LOTS! The author knows his/her
material better than anyone else. He/she may not
know how to market it, but with constant
communication between YOU and our staff the
final result of your work will be the best it
can be.
What
will the cost be to me?
We do encourage our
authors to spend proper time in editing and
proofreading their manuscripts. This
may mean that you hire a proof reader to
help with this process. That's money
out of your pocket. This will help a
great deal in the process.
There will be times that you will want to
spend money for book festivals or other
events where you can sale your book
directly, or get additional advertising for
your book. We encourage this as it
helps with getting more publicity for the
author’s book.
