If you need to edit your drafted manuscript, you can easily access and update it from your account dashboard by following the four steps below.
PLEASE NOTE: One key Difference between an uploaded manuscript and a drafted manuscript is that you can have as many drafts as you like but you can only upload once for free, in order to gain more uploads you will need to upgrade your account via our premium subscription.
Each time you start uploading a manuscript but do not complete all of the upload steps, a draft will be saved in your account dashboard.
A manuscript will only become published and visible to other users once you have completed the entire upload process and selected the final publish option.
If you leave the upload process before it is finished, close your browser, or exit the page, your work will be saved as a draft instead.
You can return to your progress at any time to continue from where you left off and complete the publishing process by following the steps below.
Step 1: Go to Your Account Dashboard
Start by logging in to your Libraro account. Once logged in, go to your Account Dashboard, where all your uploaded and drafted manuscripts are stored.
Step 2: Open the “Drafts” Tab
In your dashboard, select the “Drafts” tab. Here, you’ll see a list of any manuscripts you’ve started but haven’t yet published or submitted.
Step 3: Edit Your Draft
Find the manuscript you want to amend and click “Edit.”
You’ll be guided through the same upload steps you followed when you first began the process. The system will automatically open at the last step you completed.
If you need to change details from earlier steps (for example, your title, summary, or genre), simply click the “Back” button to move to the section you’d like to update.
Alternatively you can try to make your way to the Review section at the end in order to also alter the Title, Blurb, Manuscript Genres, Manuscript files e.g. Story about Story, Sample Chapters, Full Manuscript, the publication status and whether you would like to alert users to any early access or sale options for your work alongside the ability to relook over copyright and terms section of uploading too.
PLEASE NOTE: You cannot edit or amend any competition entries as all competition entries are final.
Step 4: Save Your Changes
Once you’ve made your updates, continue through the guided steps and save your progress. Your draft will update automatically in your dashboard.
Please Note: You can edit your drafts as many times as needed before publishing and you can have as many drafts as you would like.
