Manuscript Approval Process: The Trimaxx GPS Submissions Specialist is going to personally read your manuscript and assess the work for all of the essential elements of a quality book.   The following assessment will be discussed with you once it is completed:

 FICTION - Plot evaluation, character development, dialogue structure and usage, conflict resolution, setting, consistency, and finally, voice and flow. 

NON-FICTION: We will be evaluating the structure and organization, flow, the general consistency of themes, as well as fact-checking for currency and credibility of referenced citations.

As we promised – We are going to publish every book that comes to us.  However, if your manuscript is not ready for the Editorial Process, you will receive a phone call to give you a detailed report of the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript, and recommendations for improvement so you can resubmit quickly and successfully. 

Questions to ask yourself about your manuscript before you send it in:

Are there omitted significant components or does it provide too much irrelevant detail and information?

 Is it clear and concise, or are there any parts that may be confusing to your reading audience even though they make perfect sense to you?

Once your manuscript has been approved, you will be asked to send the electronic copy (On Microsoft Office Word™ or Open Office™ a free program)

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE TRIMAXX GPS EDITORIAL STAFF:

The hardest part of writing and reading your own manuscript – even for seasoned authors -  is that once you form your own work, it’s impossible to hold any type of objectivity about the content.  Staring at your  own creation, day in and day out over a long period of time, prevents you from seeing mistakes, redundant errors, and structure flaws; and thwarts the ability to step back to ascertain inconsistencies in any portion of the final product.

The Trimaxx GPS Editors are all specialists and highly skilled in specific areas of the Editing process.

While we do expect the author to do a certain amount of editing on their own manuscript, we know that it is difficult for any writer to look at their own work objectively.

Proofreading and Copy-edit:  The Proofreader will check for all corrections of spelling, grammar, checking for repetitious wording, and punctuation. 

Editor:  The Editor will do a more comprehensive edit to your manuscript.  This involves correcting inconsistencies throughout the text, potentially confusing phrases or concepts, and awkward sentence structure.

Sr. Editor:  The entire manuscript will be proofed a final time by the Sr. Editor.  You will receive a call to report any and all changes necessary to create a quality work which flows in voice, style and ease of readability for your audience.

Graphic Design Department:  The Graphic Design process for your book cover begins with the interior.  This stage includes, creating the copyright page, index pages, page numbers, and finally the formatting & layout of the entire manuscript for the print process. 

Why does the Graphic Designer do this?  The final page count and word count will be determined at this stage, and the size of the manuscript determines the size of the cover, which must be exact. 

The cover artwork will then be designed and back cover copy added to create a dramatic presence of your work to the potential reader.  The designer will be in contact with you for you to approve your cover art and the back cover copy before sending the final project to the Publisher to review and then price your book. 

Trimaxx GPS Publisher: Pricing a book is an important step, but it must be according to the Publishing industry standards.  You can’t just pull a price for a book out of thin air, or overcharge because you want to make a lot of money; there are fair pricing regulations which must be upheld.  Finally, the Publisher will submit the entire project for the printing process.

Author Services:  While we have done this many times, many of you have not.  We have studied, researched, and understand the world of Publishing like no one else does. 

The Trimaxx GPS staff will patiently and thoroughly teach new writers the finer points of the writing process, and once your book is printed, we will teach you how to market your books and give you the motivation, tools and materials to be successful.  You will be instructed as to how to get your book copyrighted through the U.S. Copyright Office; how to set up signings, interviews, and events: the intricacies of proper Author conduct; and much more.  All of this is a free & exclusive service for Trimaxx GPS Authors.  So, as you are patiently awaiting the arrival of your first books, our staff will contact you to begin your  training in the biggest part of the book publishing industry, Marketing, Networking, and Promotions.  Yes, writing the book was the easy part, now it’s time to tell the world about it!  But we’re including a systematic formula so that you have all the time you need to write another book, and start the publishing process all over again.

Becoming an Author can lead to many other lucrative and meaningful opportunities, many more than most writer's know; so join the Trimaxx family, and begin a career like no other!

Trimaxx Global Publishing Solutions™ & Trimaxx International Publishers look forward to a very long and satisfying relationship with each of their Authors.
