That depends on whether you want to publish a book or the publishing house wants you to publish a book. If you want to officially publish a book, you need to go through the following processes: 1, prepare the manuscript for publication; Contact the publishing house to see if they are willing to publish your book. If you are willing to publish it, you can publish it in the following ways: (1) If the manuscript is good and the publishing house is willing to underwrite your book, it will be easier. You just need to give it to the publishing house, sign the contract, and the editor in charge will contact you. (2) If the sales of your books are risky after publication, the publishing house may let you underwrite some books, so you should worry about how to sell these books. Otherwise, you may lose money. (3) If your manuscript publishing house thinks that the sales risk is high, you must publish it, and you can take the form of cooperative publishing, that is, after the book is published, you are fully responsible for the sales. Publishing houses charge a certain publishing fee. 3. After your manuscript is edited by the publishing house, under normal circumstances, the publishing society will contact the printing house to print it for you, or you can contact the printing house to print it yourself. The difference here lies in the printing quality and the price of the printer. At present, most publishing houses adopt the responsibility system of responsible editors, and the printing price is directly linked to the personal income of responsible editors. Therefore, it may appear that in order to save money, the printing quality of your book will be reduced. 4. If you contact the printing factory for printing, you must pay attention to whether the printing factory you are looking for has the qualification to print books and periodicals.

I was commissioned by Beijing Machinery Industry Press to publish the book "Starting from scratch". I just write, and when I'm done, I'll give the manuscript to the publishing house and sign an agreement. I hope your book will be published as soon as possible.
