With the advent of the upsurge of self-funded publishing, the publishing method of books has changed from submission by the original author or signing by the publishing house to paying equal attention to self-funded books and regular books. Therefore, the publishing method of books is more convenient and flexible, and the varieties and types of publications are becoming more and more abundant. In the past, manuscripts that were not very good in the market also had opportunities for readers. As a result, many self-funded books have gone from the masses to the masses, and some have become bestsellers. This is indeed a great contribution to the prosperity of culture and thought. At present, there are still two ways for publishing houses to publish books. The two methods have their own emphases, and the manuscripts are different. Only by finding the right method can we find the most convenient method. Let's talk about formal books first. Publishing houses publish regular books, that is, books that authors can get paid without spending money, considering two benefits, namely social benefits and economic benefits. Of course, social benefits are the most important. Even if a book with good social benefits is predictably poor in economic benefits, the publishing house, as an important position to spread civilization and enhance the spirit, needs to be published. This is a contribution to the progress of human civilization, and it is also the mission entrusted to the publishing house by society. In addition, the important factor that publishers consider for general books is economic benefits. Due to the differences in nature, tradition, market popularity and even editors' personal preferences, a considerable number of manuscripts were abandoned by publishing houses, not because of the quality of the manuscripts themselves, but because of the above factors. Although many books have sharp and even shining ideas and Gao Zhuo's artistic taste, on the one hand, it may be that the audience is relatively small and the market influence is limited, on the other hand, it is very likely that the manuscript itself does not conform to the style of the publishing house. Publishers will also have long-term and short-term strategies. What kind of books are vigorously developed in an era is also the strategic policy of the publishing house. Suitable books are easy to publish, and inappropriate manuscripts, no matter how good, are difficult to pass in this publishing house. Therefore, with a fairly high level of manuscripts, you might as well try several publishing houses. For this kind of manuscript, the key question is not whether it is good or not, but whether it is suitable or not. However, it is much more flexible to publish a book at your own expense. Publishing books at one's own expense is not a regular topic of market distribution, so the economic benefit of books is not the main consideration. At this time, when a high-grade and high-quality manuscript is published, it will no longer encounter bottlenecks such as "poor market" and "small audience". Therefore, there is no difference between self-funded books and regular books in essence, but for a certain market environment, they have their own characteristics and priorities in a certain period of time. It is precisely because of these two basic publishing methods that our book market and spiritual life can be so prosperous. Under the current trend, publishing books at one's own expense greatly reduces the time and energy spent by the author, which is convenient and fast. In addition, due to the emergence of professional self-funded publishing institutions, the cycle of self-funded publishing has become very short, and the whole publishing process is orderly and quite compact. Publishing books at one's own expense, although different from the formal publishing of traditional publishing houses, is more convenient, but like formal books, it is managed by the national publishing department, so some procedures are essential. Specifically, the process of self-funded publishing is as follows: 1. After the author has written the manuscript and has some ideas, he can inform the professional self-funded publishing organization of his own ideas and the basic situation of the manuscript, and the two sides can negotiate the publishing plan. 2. After the publication plan is settled, the author submits the complete manuscript and author profile to the self-funded publishing institution, and the company helps the author to complete the declaration of topic selection. This work is very important and essential for any manuscript. No matter what the manuscript is, it can only be recognized by the publishing house through topic selection and argumentation, and finally it can be published in the form of official publications. In addition, only through the topic selection can we ensure that this manuscript can be published without doubt. It is also an irresponsible commitment for anyone or company to do all the work just after getting the manuscript or not, because the right to review the manuscript is ultimately exercised by the publishing house. Third, after the manuscript has passed the topic selection, it is necessary to design and typeset the original text or picture into a mature book version. This work includes typesetting design and cover design of books. These manuscripts are finally revised by the author, that is, proofs, and will eventually be handed over to the publishing house for final signature. 4. When the publishing house distributed CIP data and ISBN of China Book, the basic work of the whole manuscript had been completed, and the film was made by the company responsible for design and typesetting. 5. Send it to the printing factory to print it into a book. Finally delivered to the author. Sixth, enter the circulation and distribution link. This is the basic process and steps of self-funded publishing. What the author needs to do is to find a professional self-funded publishing agency, and then give the manuscript to the company, so he can wait for the book. Of course, the author also needs to participate, such as opinions on binding design, printing paper, process selection and so on. , all provided by the company, the author chooses. This is also a very interesting thing, often many authors are willing to spend a lot of energy to participate in it. After all, a book embodies the author's painstaking efforts, and it is also a great comfort in life to watch it finally shine through hardships. At present, self-funded books are playing an increasingly important role in the whole book publishing. Therefore, under the current trend, self-funded books are paid more and more attention, and people's prejudices and misunderstandings are greatly reduced because of the improvement of the quality of self-funded books. Also greatly reduced is the self-funded book publishing cycle, that is, the time required for self-funded book publishing. Publishing a book is never a simple matter. There are specialties in the art, and the author can create wonderful works in his personal field. However, in the process of publishing, it is best to hand over these works to professional self-funded publishing institutions. Professional self-funded publishing institutions, because they have been engaged in publishing for a long time and are familiar with the publishing process and the situation of various publishing houses, can tailor the publishing method for each manuscript, turn these works into books, and make a perfect debut. Of course, it is human nature that my works hope to meet readers earlier. Therefore, although self-funded publishing is different from the formal publishing of traditional publishing houses and more convenient, it does not mean that self-funded publishing can not go through the publishing process. Therefore, there must be a certain time limit for publishing books at one's own expense. Different from ordinary books, self-funded books can be simplified as much as possible in many aspects, so the time is greatly reduced. Regular books are not slow for half a year, and self-funded books are the fastest for more than a month, which is also in the case that the manuscript itself is no problem and all links are quite compact. After all, books are special products, so the pursuit of short publishing cycle is one aspect, and the most important thing is the quality of books. A book, after all, embodies the author's painstaking efforts. Everyone must respect the creation of this kind of labor, and it is irresponsible to pursue speed unilaterally while ignoring quality and paying insufficient attention to details. Many authors judge the quality of a self-funded publishing institution by the speed of publishing books, which is very one-sided. The quality of the company is not to help the manuscript find a publishing house, find a printing house and let it be published in a hurry. The most important thing is to find the most suitable carrier for the author's thought, so that the thought shines because of the form, and the form is immortal because of the thought. Of course, speed is also a very important aspect. Often many books are urgently needed by the author for a period of time. Therefore, my point of view is not to disregard speed, but not to let speed surpass everything. On the premise of ensuring quality, we should pursue the speed of publishing books and improve the quality as much as possible on the premise of ensuring speed. These two aspects are both critical and indispensable. Taking speed as the starting point is very important for evaluating professional titles or other uses with self-funded books. At present, there are quite a few self-funded books, all of which are summaries of the author's own thoughts or artistic creations. Such books are not very urgent in time. For such a manuscript, why not elaborate and ponder it carefully? Whether a book is a formal and legal publication or not, the book number is the most critical and direct reflection. The book number is the ID card of a book. A book can only be regarded as a book in a strict sense if it has an official national book number. It can have all the identity characteristics of a book, such as pricing, copyright page, market distribution, etc ... If a book without a book number enters the sales link, it is an illegal publication. Buying and selling book numbers are forbidden by the state. Books are special commodities, both material and spiritual. Only books that meet the national publishing laws and regulations can be published, so as to ensure the ideological artistry of books, prevent low-quality and vulgar products from entering the market and affect people's spiritual life. The quality of this special commodity can only be guaranteed if the ISBN is approved by the state and sent to the publishing house, and the publishing house exercises the right to review the manuscript. However, buying and selling ISBN has evaded the examination, treating books and other material products equally, while the publishing house has given up the quality control of books, ignoring the great influence of this special commodity on the construction of social spiritual civilization. The state specifically manages all publications by managing the international standard book number. Therefore, whether a book is published by a publishing house in a formal form or at its own expense, it can be approved for publication, that is, if the publishing house approves the book number, it must go through the formal review procedure of the publishing house and abide by the laws and regulations of the state for publishing books. The ISBN fee paid by self-funded books is only the management fee charged by the publishing house, and it is also a form in which the publishing house is responsible for books, and it is definitely not the relationship between buying and selling ISBN. Publishing a book at one's own expense also requires the publishing house to complete three reviews and three schools, so it is also part of the publishing house's book, which is strictly managed by the publishing department. Just because of special circumstances such as small circulation and narrow distribution scope, ordinary books are different, but they are also publications of publishing houses in essence, and the conditions to be met and the aspects to be responsible are the same as any book. No individual or organization can guarantee whether the book can be published without knowing the manuscript. It is irresponsible to say that any manuscript that does not go through the formal procedures of the publishing house can't get the book number and can be published before the topic selection and argumentation. With standardized and professional management, China Self-funded Publishing Network will strictly abide by the publishing procedures for any manuscript to ensure the legality and quality of the published books. Attachment: ISBN prompt: It turns out that the ISBN of China is 10, starting with 7. At present, the ISBN of China has risen to 13. It's interesting to publish books at your own expense. When your work can find a suitable carrier and make a debut, the author is the most gratified. But at present, for the author, if he has been engaged in publishing for a short time, it is still troublesome to publish books at his own expense, mainly because he spends more time. It is very complicated to find out what publishing house your manuscript is suitable for, if you enter the publishing process. But at present, there are some self-funded publishing institutions, which are operated by professional publishers and planners, so the author saves a lot of energy and time. Although self-funded publishing has always coexisted with conventional publishing, it has only recently developed rapidly and its proportion has gradually increased, becoming a very important part of publishing. Therefore, there are inevitably many deviations and immature views on self-funded publishing. Just publish it at your own expense. Many people think that any book can be published as long as you spend money. This, of course, is totally unfounded. No matter what kind of book it is, it must conform to the laws and regulations of the state, and the content must be audited by the relevant state departments. Books that violate national laws and regulations must not be published. In addition, the copyright of self-published books must not be problematic, that is, the author must ensure that he is the copyright owner of the work. Therefore, the copyright of the same author is also protected by law, and no one has the right to infringe. Some people think it's good to publish books at their own expense. However, it is wrong to think that it is not important to protect the copyright of authors who publish books at their own expense. There are often many authors who pay little attention to their own copyrights. These are all incorrect understandings. The author enjoys all the rights granted by copyright, no matter how the book is published. This also reminds the author that in the process of publishing books at his own expense, he must fully understand his rights and obligations, and the copyright cooperation that should be signed with the publishing house and the agency contract signed with the agency company should be signed seriously. The problem of self-funded publishing is not only to make the book, but also to standardize all aspects to avoid problems in the later stage.
