If your manuscript is currently in Draft, it means you have started the upload process but have not yet completed all the required steps. To make your work visible to readers and publishers, you’ll need to finalise your submission and publish it on the platform.
What You Can Do While in Draft
A manuscript in Draft is saved progress that only you can see. You can return to it at any time to continue editing or completing the details. This includes:
Uploading or updating your PDF manuscript file
Adding your cover image
Writing or revising your title, summary, and “Story of Your Story” section
Choosing the correct genre and collection
Reviewing your submission for accuracy
Nothing will be visible to readers or publishers until you complete and publish your work.
