What is the typical book publication timeline?

Modified on Mon, 30 Jun at 5:53 PM

Overview

Once your manuscript is submitted, the standard publication timeline ranges between 30 to 45 business days. This includes the internal review, formatting, printing, and listing process.

Steps in the Timeline

  • Initial Status
    After submission, your book status will appear as “In Review.”

  • Internal Processing
     Our team begins the publishing process, including layout checks and distribution preparation.

  • Final Status
    Once the process is complete, the status will change to “Published.” You will also receive links to your book.

  • Distribution
    Your book will be listed on the respective platforms (Amazon & BookLeaf Store) and shared with you via the dashboard and email.


Important Notes

  • Please allow the full 30–45 business day window before raising concerns.

  • Rest assured, your book is being processed during this time, even if the status appears unchanged.
