The manuscript for my new novel is at the publisher and they are starting the work on it. They will get the copyright process started and it will be registered with the Library of Congress. The publisher will design the cover for me. I sent then the information on what I wanted the cover to look like. They will design it and send it to me for my approval.

They will also start working on the layout of the book. As soon as all of that is approved by me, they will start the actual printing of the book. I am hoping that the book will be out by Christmas,

It is an interesting process that they have to go through to get the book ready for publication.
