EVALUATION PROCESS
Once you send us the submission the following steps occur at our end:
- • Any query made by you will be replied within a week.
- • Evaluation: Each mail will be processed diligently and every mail replied to. You will receive a mail of acknowledgement on submission of your work. The evaluation team has its own criteria and requires a time span of 1 month before replying to any manuscript.
- • The Editor will contact you via mail in case of acceptance or rejection of the work or to ask for any additional information. We don't entertain phone calls regarding the submissions.
- • If the work is selected by the Editors for publishing, Author is intimated via mail along with letter of offer & draft agreement. Once both the parties agree to draft agreement, a legal contract is processed by the Publisher and signed by both parties along with the witnesses on both part.
- • Terms and conditions pertaining to royalties, territories, number of copies, distribution network—these are all decisions which are taken only on final acceptance of a book for publication. Should your manuscript be accepted, these will be automatically discussed at that time. Queries pertaining to these at the time of submitting your proposal or during the evaluation process are premature.
