Writers reach us at every stage: some with a finished manuscript, some with half a draft, some with a folder of poems. Wherever you are, it is a fine place to start.
You’re at stage one. Fill in the author registration form on our website and one of our editors writes back within a week to tell you how publishing with us works and what happens next.
Register as an author →Send what you have. We read it and tell you plainly whether it’s becoming a book, what the rest needs to carry, and when to begin the publishing process.
What the read involves →Begin in one of our anthologies or magazines: it puts you through a real deadline and print run, and you come away knowing whether you want to write the whole book.
See open anthologies →This is exactly how publishing a book works with us, from your first email to the finished copies in your hands. Our book publishing process runs in eight clear stages, each showing what you bring, what we do, and how long it takes. Every stage moves forward only once you approve it.
Start by registering as an author and telling us about your book: its title, genre and what you want it to achieve. Send your full manuscript if it’s finished, or a sample if you’re still writing, and one of our editors will reply within about a week to guide your next step.
Every manuscript goes through a careful editorial review before we take it on. Email yours to info@twspublications.com in Word or PDF, and our editorial team reads it and confirms whether it is eligible for publication with us.
Next you choose from our four book publishing packages: Debut, Standard, Spotlight and Bestseller. We tailor each one to your book, since the cost of publishing a book depends on your unique publishing requirements. You receive a clear written quote, and you keep full ownership of your book throughout.
Compare the four packages →Your publishing agreement puts everything in writing: your royalty rate, the print quantity, the schedule and exactly who handles what. You keep 100% of your copyright, and we license a single edition to print, sell and distribute on your behalf. Read it closely and ask for changes; both sides sign before we begin.
Now our team turns your manuscript into a finished book. Our book publishing services cover editing (developmental editing, copyediting and proofreading), professional interior formatting and typesetting, and custom cover design, all shaped in close conversation with you. Your book goes to print once you approve the final cover and proof.
Then your book goes to print. We handle ISBN registration, you choose the paper, binding and print quantity, and we send a proof copy first so you can approve exactly how it looks before the full run. Once you sign it off, your book is printed and your finished copies arrive at your door.
When your book is ready, we launch it and put it in front of readers. Every title goes live on our website, with Amazon KDP listings from the Standard package up and nationwide bookstore distribution across Pakistan in the Bestseller package. Our marketing team builds and runs your launch campaign.
Publishing your book with us continues long after launch day. You receive regular sales reports and royalty payments, with reprints and extra author copies available whenever you need them. You also join our growing community of published authors across Pakistan, with invitations to readings, anthologies and literary events.
From an affordable debut to a full flagship launch, every package is a properly made book, published under your name, with your rights fully intact. Pricing is tailored to your manuscript, so we quote once we have read it.
