Publishing Process

Our Publishing Process

Self publishing a book takes hours of time and effort. We know how valuable your time is as a thought leader and an influential voice. At The Big Talk Press we handle every detail of the publishing process so that you can focus on leaving your lasting legacy as a thought leader.

All manuscripts submitted to The Big Talk Press are reviewed by our editorial team prior to being accepted for publishing.

Our process is broken down into in three phases each taking approximately 4-6 weeks. You will have support throughout.
