Publishing

To publish, click the red ‘Publish’ button on your Dashboard. You’ll then be asked to read our D Publishing agreement. You can also download the publishing agreement, and it will be sent to you by email for your reference.

Once you’ve read the Publishing agreement, please check the box saying ‘I agree to the Dymocks Publishing agreement’, fill in your details and click Continue. You can then choose what format you would like your book published in. Remember, if you only selected EPub when you started the book production process, you cannot add Print as an option at this stage.

You’ll then be prompted to enter your credit card details to pay securely online. Once this is done, you’ll see a screen confirming your book is published. However, you can’t make it available for sale until you’ve set the list price. Do this by clicking within the table in the Commercial Terms tab of your Dashboard. Once you’ve set the price, your book will appear on the www.dymocks.com.au website within a few days. The Ebook and/or EPub versions of your book will be available via Google Ebooks too.
