Editorial position

The manuscript is finished. The book is not yet made.

Between a final draft and a book that sells sit thirty decisions: trim size, type, ISBN ownership, metadata, price, territory and the launch sequence. Each edition of the manual walks through them in order, and closes every movement with a checkpoint so that nothing is left to memory.

Method
Six movements, twenty-seven chapters
Workbook
A checkpoint page at the close of each movement
Distribution
Amazon KDP, IngramSpark and direct imprint
Languages
English, French and Arabic

The library

Three editions.
One method.

Each manual is a complete 60-page working document: 27 chapters, checkpoint pages and interactive worksheets. Choose the edition in your working language.

How the manual is used

Read it once. Work through it twice.

The manuals are working documents, not brochures. A chapter page explains the decision; the workbook page that follows asks you to record the answer for your own book — imprint name, ISBN block, category pair, cover direction, launch date.

By the final checkpoint the plan exists on paper, in the same order a production desk would execute it.
