Role of book publishers

Book Publishers produce literature for the public's consumption. This involves acquiring new material, editing the work, printing and distributing the final product. Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources, such as the electronic versions of books, journals, magazines, as well as websites and so on.
The publishing process starts with the submission or acquisition of a work. Once the work has been reviewed and accepted, editors negotiate the ownership of intellectual property rights and agree on royalty rates. Royalty rates are the percentage of gross retail price that will be paid to the author, usually between 10%-12% of the recommended retail price. The scope and format of the publication is then agreed on. The next step is for the publishing staff to edit the work, asking the author to improve certain aspects. Once the text is finalised, artwork and layout are confirmed, and proofreading is carried out. Finally prepress computerisation is done, and the book is printed. Lastly, the book is marketed and distributed.

How to get your book published

The first thing to know is how the publishing process goes. You can't send a manuscript directly to a publishing house, it has to be recommended by a literary agent for it to be read. Agents read manuscripts, or ideas for manuscripts (known as queries and proposals), and decide whether a project has promise. If it does, the agent signs a contract with the author, promising to use best efforts to get the thing sold to a publishing house, in exchange for around 15% of the deal. Before you contact an agent, you have to write a proposal outlining a plot synopsis, intended market, competition, information about the author, chapter summaries, and the delivery (approximate word count and time to write the book). Then you need to research agents, find out what types of books they represent. Finally contact an agent with a query and sign a contract. Once you sign the contract they send you, make any changes to your proposal they suggest. Once it's ready, they'll start making your pitch to publishing companies.

RJ Communications, the home of www.selfpublishing.com where over 100 million books have been printed for thousands of satisfied publishers, large and small. At RJ Communications, we help authors become publishers and success is measured in customer satisfaction.
I begin every publishing course I teach with the phrase, “Writing is a love and publishing is a business”. Just as you wouldn’t dream of opening an auto repair shop without learning about automobiles, you shouldn’t think, for a second, that you are going to be a successful self publisher without first learning about the publishing industry. To think otherwise, would be foolish. A quick Google search under the keyword “self publishing” produces a virtual minefield of vanity presses that must be navigated unless you have money to burn. At SelfPublishing.com we give you all the tools needed to help you become a successful publisher.
