Planning

1. You’ll submit information about your podcast for our review on our contact page, here.
2. If we like what we see, we’ll consult with you to answer your questions and learn more about what you’d like to accomplish by turning your podcast into a book (or books—you can do more than one).
3. If we agree to publish your book, and you agree to let us, we’ll both sign a contract to make our agreement official.
   

Production

1. You’ll send us your audio or video files for transcription. If you already have transcriptions, you’ll send us those instead.
2. Using sophisticated software, we’ll transcribe your files and clean up such audio tics as “um,” “uh,” and so on. If you have existing transcriptions, we’ll skip this step.
3. We’ll combine the transcriptions into a manuscript and send it to you for review. You’ll have one week to make any changes and return the manuscript to us.
4. We’ll assign an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) to your book and register it with Bowker, the official ISBN agency for the United States of America.
5. We’ll format the manuscript as a book in professionally set type, including speaker identification in italic or bold.
6. We’ll design a cover for the book—including your photograph on the back, if you like.
7. As a courtesy, we’ll send you a PDF sample of the book so you can see what it’s going to look like.

Publication

1. We’ll send your book to our printer. We use Lightning Source, a business unit of Ingram Content Group, the largest book distributor in the world
2. Your book will start showing up in online bookstores everywhere.
3. Of course we’ll send you an author’s copy of your printed book.
4. That’s it! Enjoy your book and the revenue it produces. We pay royalties yearly, in July. The copyright remains with you.
