GSAP Frequently Asked Questions

•    How do I get my book published with GSA publishers?

Once you submit your manuscript to be reviewed and approved,                              you will be notified within three (3) working days acknowledging that we have received your manuscript. You will also receive a mail from us in another three (3) working days telling you we can publish your book or not.

Almost all manuscripts submitted are approved, provided they fall within the confines of Christian morals and spiritual decency. Once your manuscript is approved you will be notified by an author support manager who will liaise with you throughout the entire publishing process. You may contact him/her at any time for any inquiries you may have while your book is being published.

You will also be given a publishing agreement form to be completed by you and returned to the publishing house.

•    How much will it cost to publish my book?
The cost of your book depends on the volume and size of the book as well as pictures or other illustrations that may be contained in the book. Once the cost is ascertained, it will be communicated to you within three (3) working days of receiving the completed publishing agreement form from you.

•    What is the minimum number of copies I can publish?
1000 copies of your book in print! This is to your benefit because it will cost the same amount to publish fewer copies. The more copies you publish, the cheaper it is! So why not go for more?

•    Will you help me market my books?
At GSAP, we engage in minimal marketing by making your books available on some specified websites. However you can obtain marketing help from any of the following links.

www.bookpromotion.com
www.amazon.com

•    What if my book is already published and I just want a reprint?
With GSAP it is possible to reprint your published books with our press. Please contact us for details.

•    Who designs and formats my book?
All GSAP books are designed and formatted professionally by gifted graphic artists to your specifications. We work closely with you to ensure that we exceed all your expectations.

•    Do I have to pay an extra fee for changing the format of my book?
We would normally give you three cover samples from which you would be expected to make a choice. Every extra cover presented after the original three would attract an additional fee. Also, changes made after approval will attract a surcharge.

•    How long will it take to publish my book?
It takes 90 days to publish a book with us. However, we also offer express service that gets a book out in 60 days at an additional cost.

•    How do I pay the publishing fee?
The publishing fee can be paid by bank drafts, cheques, bank wire transfers or cash at any of our designated banks or offices.

•    Can I pay the publishing fee in installments?
Yes. Now, isn’t this wonderful? You can actually pay your publishing fees in three installments:

• 60% before the book goes to press,
• 25% while in press, and
• 15% on delivery.

•    Can I use another press to reprint books published by you?     
Because we can only ensure the quality of books from our press we do not advise that books published by us be reprinted elsewhere.

•   Do I get a discount if I publish more than one book?
We do our best to make sure our authors always have something to smile about. Please contact our acquisitions manager if you wish to publish more than one book at a go.
