The time it takes to complete a book manuscript varies from person to person. Many variables must be taken into consideration such as; how much time you are willing to contribute to writing daily, whether or not you are willing to modify your daily schedule and commitments to facilitate this task, and events that occur outside of your control that may affect your progress. Books can be completed in as little as 90 days in some cases.

Royalty payments are the percentage of a book sale that you receive after printing cost have been deducted by the publisher/printer (i.e., Barnes and Noble Press, Amazon KDP, etc.). Royalty payments are typically issued to the author on a monthly basis via direct deposit to the bank account listed on your author account/profile. Royalties are paid differently if you sale from your personal website. Many authors prefer to do this as it often ensures higher profits from sales.
A pre-order is an order for an item that has not yet been made available with the understanding that it will be shipped at a later date. While pre-orders are optional, we highly recommend them, especially for new authors. Pre-orders are great for audience engagement, they give the author the needed time to tie up any loose ends from their book project (last minute edits, final changes, final cover etc.), before the book is released, and can help increase initial sales.
Open Book Writer’s Group currently works with nonfiction authors exclusively. This excludes children’s books, however Reedsy and Fiverr are excellent resources to use for children’s book illustration.
