How do I publish a book or a publication?
Once you have either uploaded a book or a publication to LiveCarta or written any material on the platform yourself, you will want to set final options for your writing and know what to expect as you take the final steps towards publishing on LiveCarta.
1. Open your editable material located within "My Library", and click the “Submit for Publishing” button to begin the final steps to submit your book or publication for publishing on LiveCarta.
2. Select a “Discipline” and discipline “Sub-category” for your material from the available drop-down menus. Once selected, click “Next”.
Note: for publication select “Type” if you haven't selected it during creation.
3. If you work for a university, you will have the opportunity to indicate “Yes” or “No” and which university you work for from the drop-down menus. You may also enter your title at the university in the available text box. Once selected, click “Next”.
4. Here, you may decide a price for your book or publication, or choose to publish the work for free, and select a publish date from the drown calendar interface.
5. Check the box to agree to the terms of service, then hit the “Publish” button.
6. While LiveCarta’s team must manually review your submission before publishing, you will see your submission in "My Library", and it will be labeled with the “Pending” status.
7. Once LiveCarta has reviewed your submission, a member of the team will reach out to you to confirm pricing (including cost and list price of a printed version if this option is selected), royalty settings, copyright information, and more. The average time for review is about 10 workdays. Please inquire about the royalties you can get by contacting LiveCarta support at support@livecarta.com. Quality issues and inappropriate content may result in a rejection of the submission.
8. After confirmation, LiveCarta will share a licensing agreement and after the agreement is signed by both parties your material will be approved by admins and made available for purchase on LiveCarta.
