Do I need to register?
There is no need to register if you don't want to order a
service or send us a
manuscript. If you plan to send us any material we need to know who you
are. We
use your email to register you. If you have several different email addresses
please stick with one when communicating with us.
We reserve the right to reject some work but apart from that
the service is open to everyone. Your can even hide behind a nom-de-plume so
there is no obligation to use your real name.
Fill in your change of email address, using our
keep in contact form. It's as easy as that. If you
are leaving a job or college you will probably lose access to that email
address immediately, so try to anticipate it. It is possible to have many
e-addresses and access them all through a single service provider?
How?
Complete the order form, (check
out which form to use), which
allows you to check the fee, send your manuscript and pay. OR, you can send us an email
with your order and
attach your manuscript. Please don't forget to pay,
using our payment form or
by sending a cheque so that we can start work on your manuscript.
Look at our checklist covering the process of sending your manuscript and paying.
Fear not, it's really quite simple.
- When completing the order
form, click to call up the file browser. If you select a file it will send it
along with your order. (Remember to get your manuscript into the right
format beforehand.) A big manuscript, even when 'packed' as we recommend, will take
time to send, so be patient.)
- Please always send your manuscript as one file, not broken up into
chapters, unless it is over 125,000 words, when we recommend dividing it into
two files.
- You can also write us an email then click on
the paperclip icon or select from the toolbar to attach a file. Find the file and click
again and it's attached. We have a page explaining
how to do this in more detail.
You will find full details in the downloadable
manual.
We do not like to handle paperwork. We
really want you to send us your manuscript in an electronic form. There is one exception.
If you have a publishing contract, you can send us a photocopy.
Your payment details go over a special secure link and your details stay with the bank.
