Update Your Manuscript
To update your manuscript, follow the instructions below. Please make sure the information in your updated file matches the book details you entered. Also, if you significantly change your book, it is considered a new edition and should be published as a new book.
If you updated a published book, it will be reviewed again. For information on timelines, including details on new publications and updates to published books, see our Help page.
