The Step-by-Step Process of Publishing a Book With Morpheus Publishing

Turning your story into a published book together, every step of the way.

So, you’ve written (or are writing) a book and now you're asking the big question: “How do I actually publish this?”

At Morpheus Publishing, we specialise in helping everyday people become extraordinary published authors. Whether you’ve got a rough draft, a completed manuscript, or just an idea in your heart, we guide you through every step of the publishing journey with clarity, care, and collaboration.

Here’s a breakdown of what the process looks like when you publish your book with us.

Step 1: Submit Your Manuscript or Idea

We welcome everything from polished drafts to passionate beginnings. Send us your manuscript, outline, or book concept and we’ll chat about your vision, goals, and whether our hybrid publishing model is the right fit for you.

Don't have a full draft yet? No worries we offer coaching and writing support too!

Step 2: Discovery Call & Quote

We’ll organise a friendly call (or email chat) to:

• Learn more about your story and purpose

• Discuss your publishing goals

• Talk through the Morpheus Publishing process and packages

• Provide a transparent quote tailored to your project

We’re all about honesty, no pressure, and support from day one.

Step 3: Editing & Manuscript Development

Your words matter—so we treat them with the utmost care.

We offer:

✅ Structural Editing – for flow, clarity, and organisation 

✅ Line Editing – for sentence structure and tone 

✅ Proofreading – for grammar, spelling, punctuation

You’ll receive clear feedback and collaborative support to help polish your manuscript to its strongest version.

Step 4: Professional Book Design

Once the manuscript is complete, it’s time to make it look stunning inside and out.

We’ll handle:

📚 Typesetting & Interior Layout – Clean, accessible formatting 

🎨 Cover Design – Eye-catching and genre-appropriate 

📖 Illustrations – Available for children’s books and special projects

Every book is designed with your audience, message, and style in mind.

Step 5: ISBN, Copyright, and Metadata

We’ll register your ISBN, apply for your copyright protections, and create your book’s metadata essentially its “digital identity” so it’s ready for global publication and distribution.

You’ll also get a barcode, so your book is shelf-ready.

Step 6: Publishing & Global Distribution

Your book will be published in both print and eBook formats and listed on:

• Amazon (globally)

• IngramSpark (for bookstores and libraries)

• Other online retailers and platforms

You keep full rights to your work and enjoy 60% of net profits, with full transparency.
