On the question of publishing a book, does it have to be a publishing house?

First of all, as long as it is not malicious, these characters and place names will not constitute infringement, just like ** said that I went to KFC in such and such a place and met such and such a big star, and people can't sue you for infringement.

Second, the manuscript sent to the publisher can be handwritten. But if you're not a well-known writer or an old acquaintance of a publishing house, at least out of politeness, your manuscript can't be a mess. Otherwise, you won't be able to see what you've written, right?

So, either copy it or print it out.

Third, the publisher will generally reject the manuscript, unless there is a stipulation that the manuscript will not be returned.

Fourth, I don't know if you're going to publish a book or an article. Publishing a book is not just done by submitting it to a publishing house, there are a lot of twists and turns. Even if you publish it at your own expense, it's not that easy.

Publishers generally don't accept handwritten manuscripts, especially first drafts, and generally don't reject them, so you'd better think about it, and don't worry about your worries later!

1.Handwritten manuscripts can be sent to publishers. However, it is recommended to send the final version, not the scribbled version, so that it is not convenient for people to read.

2.Generally, manuscripts will not be returned. It is recommended that you send a copy to the publisher. It is better to have an electronic file.

No. 1. If you want to distribute and sell in the regular book market, you must go through the publishing house. Because the book must have a book number.

The book number is uniformly assigned to the publishing house by the General Administration of Press and Publication, and if you want to obtain the book number, you must apply to the publishing house and pay a certain book number management fee.

2. If the book is not publicly issued, it is only circulated within the unit or personal souvenirs, etc., you can directly find a professional or a first-class institution for review, typesetting, etc., and then find a printing house to print.

Books that use the book series number at their own expense have limitations in terms of distribution and evaluation of professional titles, and a single book series number cannot be distributed in Xinhua Bookstore, but can be distributed in other second-tier channels or bookstores, and the series number can be used to evaluate professional titles.

However, some areas with high requirements stipulate that a single book number must be used, so if it is a book with an evaluation title, you must understand the local evaluation standards before publishing the book, and then decide which book number to choose. In short, you can choose the series number for self-funded books, but there are limitations in some aspects.

It is necessary to go through the topic selection declaration, three reviews and three proofreadings, application book number, design typesetting and printing and publishing.

Can a publisher print a book after it has been published? Generally, no. Find a printing house to publish the book, the publisher or yourself can contact it.

However, if a publishing house publishes a book in a regular manner, it is necessary to find a printing house that is qualified and filed with the publishing house. And the books that are privately printed by yourself do not belong to the publishing house.

When a publishing house publishes a book, it must go through the application of topic selection, Zheng Zhu's three reviews and three proofreadings, application for book number, design typesetting, and printing and publishing. When the book is published in the "printing and publishing" step, the publisher will issue a commission printing sheet and a "book sample", and hand it over to a qualified and cooperative printing house to complete the printing. It can be seen that when a publishing house publishes a book, the publishing house finds a printing house to print it, rather than printing it itself.

Publishing houses publish books, probably more than once. After the first printing, if the printing quantity is not enough, it is necessary to reprint. When the book is published at public expense, it is relatively simple to complete the reprinting.

When the book is published at his own expense, it becomes more difficult for the author to find a publisher to print it. Although it is possible to submit an application at any time, there is uncertainty as to when the printing will be completed. As a result, many people want to print their own.

After the publishing house publishes the book, it means that the book has a book number, and then it can be completed by finding a printing house. What seems simple is simple to be operated by a publishing house, but it is not simple to print it yourself. Because the printing house cannot casually print "books published by the publishing house", it must not only have the corresponding qualifications, but also shout that there is a "commission printing sheet issued by the publishing house".

If you don't have a "commission printing form issued by the publishing house", the publishing house can't print the book itself after it is published. If you can get the "commission printing form issued by the publishing house", you can go to the designated printing house to complete the printing. If it is printed privately, the book will not belong to the publishing house.

Many people have the misconception that book publishing and distribution are confused. Actually, book publishing and distribution are not the same thing.

Publishing is the process of publishing the works that meet the requirements through the publishing house, and the distribution of books is the follow-up work of publishing, and the process of putting the works on the shelves of the distribution channels for publicity and sale.

So, there is still a difference between the two. It does not mean that books can be sold and distributed in major bookstores or on major platforms and channels after they are published, in fact, distribution and publishing are two different concepts.

The process of publication includes the application of topic selection, the review of the content of the work, the signing of the publishing contract, the application for the book number, typesetting, cover design, printing and production of the work. Depending on the type of work, the publishing process will be slightly different.

After the work is published after the work is published, the distribution is a very important link. The distribution of works mainly includes the promotion of works and the sale of works. With the advancement of the times and technology, the publicity and distribution methods of works are becoming more and more diversified.

What we have been doing is to create a full matrix for books, and major platforms such as Toutiao, Zhihu, Weibo, and Douyin will jointly publicize and distribute works, giving higher quality to the works, so as to enhance the popularity of the works. It will also be put on the platform according to the situation of the work, such as Winshare.com, Dangdang Limb Bridge, **, Jingdong, Xinhua Bookstore, etc. It has also expanded publicity and distribution channels such as e-books and audiobooks, such as WeChat Reading and Himalaya.

1. Generally, as long as the topic is selected. The topic should include the title of the book, the author's bio, the content introduction, the table of contents, the 5,000-word manuscript, the advantages and selling points of the book, and the marketing projection (it should be based on evidence, not nonsense).

2. Royalties. From the perspective of the book market, or from the field of poetry, you should know more that there are more people who write poetry than read poetry, so it is very realistic to say that after a book of poetry is published, it is difficult to have any sales, so it is difficult to have royalties. In fact, I also write poems, and most of my friends are poets, but the poetry collections are basically published at their own expense, and we need to compensate the publisher, and even if there are royalties, they are determined according to the sales volume, but they can be agreed in the contract.

3. Copyright. Computer writing, this basis is difficult to say, and we don't have a specific way to solve it, but normally speaking, we wrote a poem, a pre-cavity article, which can be published on *** or other self-** first, this is the evidence.

4. The distribution of books has its own inherent channels. For example, if you print a book yourself, what channels can you sell it? Individuals, even small companies, have no way to enter channels such as Xinhua Shuwu Jiqing Store, Dangdang, JD.com, Tmall, etc., and they have very strict qualification requirements for suppliers, so the distribution can only be handed over to qualified publishers.

Even if you have qualifications, you don't have an advantage in marketing and channels compared to some high-quality publishers. The most important point is, is it really for the sake of making a profit when we publish a book? Probably not, so we don't have to worry about that!
