Feedback from your editor

​

Once your book proposal has been approved by the Press and Publishing Committee, your assistant commissioning editor will send you your Memorandum of Agreement (your publishing contract) for you to sign. Once you return your signed document, your assistant commissioning editor will send you your author welcome pack. This will direct you to the essential information that you will need while preparing your book. You’ll also be eligible for your 40% author discount from this stage, so we’ll send you instructions on how to claim it.

​

Your assistant commissioning editor will keep in touch with you throughout the writing process and will be on hand to answer any questions you have.

Essential guidelines​

​

• Publication ethics

• Style sheets - formatting your book to the Nordik Academia house style

• Inclusive language guidance - how to use language that avoids bias and conveys respect

• Clearing copyright - how to clear permissions to use work that is not your own in your book

• Illustration submission guidelines

Extending your deadlines

​

If you find that you are not able to keep to your writing schedule, please your assistant commissioning editor know as soon as possible. We are always happy to be flexible and agree a new date for submission. The sooner you can let us know, the less disruption the delay will cause to our sales team and customers. We’d always prefer you to be realistic rather than optimistic.
