T he following are highlights of t he process for receiving and publishing manuscripts at Acrodile Publishing Ltd 1. The manuscript must be well written in a coherent standardĀ language. It should be typed, preferably double-spaced. The manuscript can then be sent to us by registered post, hand delivery or by email. The author must retain a copy of his/her manuscript, to safeguard against loss or damage, because we do not guarantee compensation for lost or damaged manuscripts. The manuscripts must have the author's name and address. The author must inform us of any changes of address. It is also important for prospective authors to read our published works so as to know the kind of works that we publish under our various series. 2. Every manuscript that is sent requires a minimum of twelve weeks to be properly assessed and evaluated. After a manuscript is assessed, the author may be sent (a) written report(s), or be requested to appear at our editorial offices for a verbal discussion on the work, or be asked to react in writing to the report(s). We are however under no obligation to give assessment reports. 3. If the manuscript has received two or more favourable reports, it is discussed at our Editorial Board meeting, where a collective decision on whether to publish it is made. Rejected manuscripts in this case will be immediately sent back to the authors, even if they have favourable reports. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, the author will be contacted to sign a publishing contract. Details of agreement are laid down, and if both parties are satisfied with the terms, the manuscript is then produced as a book. The details of such a contractual agreement are, however, not discussed until the manuscript has been officially accepted for publication. It is also important to note that no monetary transactions are carried out before the publishing contract has been signed.
