1, complete the work and input/typesetting, design the cover, and make the manuscript neat, clear and final;
2. Submit directly to the editorial department of the publishing house or find an agent to publish your work;
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);
6. After the manuscript review is completed, the publishing society will issue the book number, CIP, and order form. (Some of them have power of attorney);
7. Printing-distribution.
But it is difficult for ordinary authors to contact the publishing house directly. They don't pay much attention to us, or they will "treat us slowly" and let us wait for a few months.
In this regard, you can find an agent or a familiar editor to explain your topics and ideas and your book market potential.
Ask a few more questions, if not, you can publish at your own expense, and the cheapest one in China may be around 3000.
In addition, if you think your work is better, don't send the whole manuscript and the final title directly to booksellers or publishers, so as to prevent people from seeing and hearing.
