We will try our best to revert back within a span of two weeks. But, in case you don’t receive any information from our side, you can always send us a reminder. We will never leave you unanswered.
If all goes well and your manuscript is selected for publishing, there is a proper legal procedure to be followed regarding the copyright and royalty and other things. We are afraid, Publishing is not a one-step process. And in case, we fail to proceed with your manuscript, never lose heart. J.K. Rowling was rejected too before making her mark in this world.
We tried to be as transparent as possible. Still, if any doubt crops up, do not hesitate to reach us at our customer care service number. We are always there to help you.
Looking forward to hear from you.
