3, by the publishing house or agent preliminary selected topics, manuscripts, signed a publishing contract or agency contract;

4. Pay related expenses: publishing management fee (ISBN fee) and editing fee (some publishing houses do not charge or are not included in the management fee);

5. Enter the publishing process (if the agency publishing is generally about one month or less);

Generally speaking, the related expenses of publishing a book can be divided into: prepress design, publishing and printing, which are specifically divided into:

(1) prepress design: recording and typesetting (including film production) and cover design (including film production), which are basically not much different;

(2) Publication: ISBN fee (management fee) and editing fee; The amount of these two fees mainly depends on what kind of publishing house you choose. Different publishers charge different fees.

(3) Printing: cover printing (including paper, printing, film covering and post-production), body paper, body printing and binding; This production cost is related to many factors, including the paper used for the cover, the technology used, the film covered, the paper used for the text, the number of copies of the book, the number of copies printed and so on. If necessary, you can send me the relevant information of your book, and I will help you calculate the post-production cost and publish it @.

Suppose the book is a traditional 32-page book, 300 pages, single-volume odd number, monochrome offset paper printing 10000 volumes. The cost for a bookseller to run a book is as follows:

1, ISBN 10000 ~ 15000 yuan, editing fee 0 ~ 2000 yuan, 10000 ~ 17000 yuan.

2. Contribution fee: 3000 ~ 10000 yuan.

3. The design, recording, arrangement and production cost is 3,000 yuan.

4. Paper, printing and binding cost 30,000 yuan.

5. Other expenses (warehousing and logistics communication management, etc. ) 5000 yuan.

Then the cost is 5 1, 000 ~ 65000 yuan, and the median is 58000 yuan. Then the cost per share is 5.80 yuan.

But they usually sell for about 60% off, that is, 10 yuan, 4.2 yuan profit.

The profit of provincial wholesalers is 10%, and the rest are basically retail bookstores.

As for individual publishing, the situation is more complicated. According to our experience, it is generally difficult for an individual author to make a profit when publishing a book for the first time, but there are many factors that determine whether a book is profitable, such as topic selection, content, packaging, marketing and channel development. It depends on how you operate it.

How to find a publishing house to publish books for free, and how to publicize them after publication? As far as I know, you can print books at your own expense as long as you don't publish the ISBN and ISBN. If you want to give it away for free, it doesn't seem that easy. Unless your work is recognized by an association, which association will pay for it. Since that association has invested, they will certainly have relevant methods to publicize it.
