Scheduled Manuscript Submissions

When submitting through e-mail, please make sure that your e-mail program accepts attachments in return. Many providers place limits on the size of files that may be sent and received. This means that if your completed manuscript is large or contains graphics, you may not be able to successfully send or receive it through e-mail. Most manuscripts will be under 2MB in file size.* If your manuscript is larger than this, you may want to consider compressing your file using a zip utility. You may also submit your manuscript using Postal Mail.

To submit your manuscript as an e-mail attachment:

1. Prepare the completed manuscript and any additional text to be reviewed.
Additional text may include author bios, previews, or press statements and will be handled at no extra cost provided they are submitted with the manuscript and do not exceed 1 - 2 pages each in length.

Manuscripts should be submitted as a single, merged file. You must submit your manuscript as a Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, or Open Office document unless you have arranged for a file conversion or are receiving a printout of the work.

2. Compile graphics or specific formatting information.
If formatting or graphics services have been obtained, please be sure to provide us with any specific materials or information requested.

If it is necessary to mail materials, such as photographs, please avoid sending originals. If you require materials to be returned, please be sure to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your submission. Materials will be returned upon completion of the work.

3. Prepare an introductory page or e-mail message containing the following:

Contact Information - This should include your full name, e-mail address, a telephone number where you can be reached, and a street address.

Book Information - This should include any specific editorial notes, style sheets, or information not supplied in the sample edit/format process.

4. E-mail us your manuscript and information.
Address your e-mail to submit@integrativeink.com. You will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of your manuscript. (Manuscripts should be received no later than 7 days prior to your scheduled start date, unless other arrangements have been made.)

*Note: To determine the size of your document, you may right-click on the file name and choose Properties from the menu. If your document is open, go to File and Properties in your toolbar.
