How to upload your manuscript

   
 
  1. Register as a member of b-published.com, its free and gives you access to the best bits.
  2. Make a new folder on your desktop and call it “b-published uploads”
  3. Then create the files that you will eventually upload.
  4. You will need to create several files for uploading:
    a) the Synopsis or "cover notes" - 100-200 words summarising your work
    b) a Sample of (say) the first three chapters as a PDF file
    c) the whole Manuscript as a PDF file
    d) you can include if you wish at the back of the sample chapters, a list of characters.
    e) a Cover Image - like the front cover of a book
  5. The sample and full manuscript files that you will be uploading will need to be converted to PDF format, to create a PDF file is very easy; we use www.cutepdf.com free software and have found it to be excellent. There are many other equally useful tools to help you do this, use, which ever suits you. If you are using cutepdf, open the document that you want to change to a PDF file and choose "File->Print". Change the printer from your default printer to CutePDF and click ok.  You will then be prompted to choose where like to save this new PDF file. In the Save in box you will be able to select the desktop and from there you will be able to select you newly created desktop folder called “b-published uploads”. Then Save.
  6. If you have a cover image of the book that is best uploaded as a jpeg, (.jpg) if you haven’t then you can put a picture up of yourself, if you leave the image section blank we have a default picture in the left hand side tool bar and follow the instructions to upload you manuscript, you are minutes away from completing you first upload.
  7. You can repeat this process as many times as you wish for free.
  8. Currently we have available a series of offers, if you go to the news item on the home page, you will see what offers are still available.

The very best of Luck!
