5 Simple steps to publishing a book with Springer
Develop an Idea
Every great book starts with an idea. Our experienced publishing editors can help to craft an idea into something book-worthy. Share your idea with us and one of our editors will get back to you.
Submit a Proposal
Once your idea has been fleshed out, we ask authors to submit a formal proposal. This may include your working title, who the book is intended for, who will be involved in writing the book, and a timeline around when you would like to have it finished. If you have an idea ready to go, send it to us & one of our editors will reach out to you with more information.
Prepare your Manuscript
We will guide you through the process, with templates and instructions to make the process as simple as possible. We also offer free, multi-language resources to help you write, submit & publish your manuscript in English.

Publish your Book
Our team of knowledgeable professionals will guide your project from manuscript submission to publication. Once your draft manuscript is complete, our teams will guide your project through formatting & type setting to turn your words into a book, which is then available in 3 formats: eBook, Print Book & MyCopy. You can also keep track of where your book is in the publication process in real-time by signing up for automated notifications through our online tracker.
Share your Book
To reach the greatest number and widest range of readers, we apply an effective mix of marketing and promotion for your book. Upon publication, your book automatically gets a promotional homepage. Authors are also supported on how to communicate your published book to peers and the broader community. Interested in the impact of your book?
