1, writing stage
This is when you are writing. If you write to the publisher first, you need to discuss with the publisher many times.
2, publishing house audit stage
The publishing association will ask an editor to examine your work thoroughly. The main work to be done is to check typos, ask questions about places that you can't understand, and typeset. After this inspection, two inspections will be arranged, which will be conducted by a higher-level editor, which is the so-called "three evaluations and three comparisons". From my experience, the time of the first exam is longer, and the time of the next two exams is shorter, but the total time is 2-3 months.
