(self-published books must be read)
After reading the above-mentioned self-funded book, you can enter the publishing process and understand the specific operation process.
If you need to publish a book here, you need to know the following questions.
● What materials need to be provided?
(1) neatly arranged electronic manuscripts; (2) printed text; (3) cover electronic manuscript; (4) cover digital proofs (all four are complete and indispensable).
Authorization document: the copyright owner (author, editor-in-chief or unit) shall provide the copy of the author's ID card or editor-in-chief's ID card or the company's business license, and the unit shall provide the certificate stamped with the official seal of the unit.
You need to prepare the following materials before the book is published:
1. Title (tentative), content introduction, author and introduction, catalogue and sample chapter;
2. Manuscript: it is required to be neat, clear and finalized, that is, the whole draft/final version of the collated version;
3. Power of attorney (sample) of our (or publishing house) works.
The title, introduction and author of the above items must be available, otherwise the topic cannot be submitted.
Before submitting the manuscript, the author and we must sign a contract for the agency publishing of the work.
● Operation process
1. Fill in the declaration form of topic selection.
You need to fill in the topic declaration form provided by our customer service staff in detail. This form is convenient for us to submit the topic information to the publishing house in time and in the fastest way.
Two: check whether the manuscript is standardized.
After the topic selection declaration form is filled out. You need to check the electronic documents in your computer carefully. Whether it is arranged in a standard book style, including title, author's name, author's brief introduction, content brief introduction, preface, table of contents, text, etc. (This work will directly affect the time for the examination and approval of ISBN, so it is best to proofread the manuscript yourself. )
Why?
Because we often encounter such a problem in the actual operation process: the author is eager to approve the book number. However, it is often because the manuscript I handed in is very irregular. And typos are everywhere. Repeated revision of such a manuscript will waste a lot of time. On the premise that there is nothing difficult to publish, the more standardized and clean the manuscript, the faster the time can be.
Three: reply whether the topic is passed or not within three days.
We will reply to the author within three days after receiving the topic selection form and the electronic version of the manuscript, whether the topic selection has been approved by the publishing house, and if so, the author will immediately send the printed manuscript to us by courier.
Four. Sign an agency publishing contract
We will sign the agency contract after receiving the manuscript. The author needs to pay all the publishing fees to our company at one time, including: ISBN management fee (ISBN is 20,000-35,000 yuan, and the publication number is generally around 1 10,000 yuan), publishing house editing fee (generally 1 10,000 words, 2,000 yuan), and typesetting design fee (typesetting 3 yuan/page, complete layout design and binding design/kloc- Different paper prices are different, and the specific situation has to be calculated. Books need special craftsmanship)
Five: Operation Time and Printing
Within the agreed time, we will approve the book number and edit the typesetting design at the same time. This helps us shorten the operation time. When our editing and typesetting enters the final stage, we will send back a typesetting draft to the author for the final author to confirm. The author will return as soon as possible after confirmation. We will arrange to start printing.
Six: Consignment into a book
The goods will be delivered by us. Take the form of cash on delivery (the freight is borne by the author).
● The following are some frequently asked questions.
1.ISBN price?
Usually the author asks as soon as he comes up, what's your book number?
In fact, this method is incorrect. First of all, we don't sell book numbers, and countries with book numbers are not allowed to buy or sell them. The work we do is open to works with certain economic strength and value, but we are not familiar with the publishing methods and processes. I know nothing about the number of words in your book, what kind of works and theme genre. We can't make you an offer.
What you need to do is to fill in the title declaration form carefully first. Some electronic samples were sent to our editor. We can choose a publishing house for you according to your requirements, which is easier to pass and the price is more suitable.
2. When was the book number approved?
Another question that the author is concerned about is, how long will it take to approve ISBN?
Conventionally speaking. It takes at least 40 days, and it is safest in two months. Books that need to be expedited in about 25 days must be negotiated in advance. In addition, by the way, we have been engaged in the publishing industry for nearly four years, and we have never been unable to complete the formalities for seven days 10. This is impossible, why?
Because from a book, a topic is reported to the publishing house. First of all, it depends on whether they meet the topic selection meeting. If you happen to meet, the time will be guaranteed within 40 days, but if you don't meet the topic selection meeting. We have to wait for the next topic selection meeting before the responsible editor will report it. Even if the topic is selected, after three trials, from the responsible editor, the director of the editing room, the final review room to the president's signature, the editor-in-chief will declare cip to the press and publication bureau. So many steps are completed in 7 days and 8 days, and I think anyone with a little analytical ability will know that it is impossible. The only possibility is that some agents use fake ISBN, expired ISBN or ISBN of other books for the author at no cost in order to make huge profits. Therefore, I hope that the author of the book must consider calmly and cooperate with some informal publishing houses in order to pull business. The promised price is low, the cycle is short, and the procedures are complete. That's bullshit！ As the saying goes, "cheap goods are not good" has profound significance in all walks of life.
3. Is 3.ISBN true or false?
There is another problem that I am very worried about. Is ISBN true or false?
Teach you a very simple method. No fake ISBN can escape the authenticity of the ISBN queried in this way. Illegal publications will soon reveal their true colors. When you open every book, you will notice that all the officially published books have a copyright page of CIP data at the front or at the end of the book, and there are such a series of numbers on the copyright page: CIP Data Kernel (2007)No. XXXXX of China Map Library.
Check the CIP number on the left side of the website of the Information Center of China General Administration of Press and Publication.
Certificate office
Enter the year number (enter the year of publication), and then enter the number in XXXXX. And enter the verification code. You can find that your book is a regular publication, but what you can't find is an illegal publication. The books published by our company promise to be found on this website, and all publishers can find them! Guaranteed to be a legal publication published by regular ISBN!
4. About printing and distribution
Finally, let me talk about what a book looks like and what to do after it is published. About the printing and distribution of books.
Whether a book is beautiful or not depends on the layout design in the early stage, the printing quality in the later stage and the paper used. Therefore, when designing typesetting, you must first set your own approved style. Coupled with our cooperative relationship with the printing house for many years, it is no problem to make a book beautiful and generous.
Regarding distribution, books published by our company have priority to enjoy our distribution channels. We will give priority to novels and life books published by the company. Besides, don't worry about the most difficult poems. We have mastered the distribution channels of many university bookstores and have a good interaction with many literary clubs. We are still confident that we can decompose and sell this collection of poems with a print run of one or two thousand copies.
