Right away! Once you sign-up for your publishing path of choice, you'll receive instant access to get started producing your book. All you need are completed files to move on to the publication upload process. (Don't worry - we'll also supply you with the resources you need to complete your book creation if you don't have complete files already.) But please note that if you choose the hybrid publishing path, your account must be paid in full before you can upload your files with us.
