    It would take about 450,000 to publish a book.

    Nowadays, most private books are self-financed, that is, the author needs to pay all the expenses incurred before the book is published.

    At present, the cost of publishing books generally includes book number fees, layout design fees, recording and layout fees, review fees, film production fees, production fees, cover design production fees, plate making fees, printing fees, binding fees, service fees, etc. The different choices of paper and the different costs of the merchant will also affect the publisher.

    Publication method: 1. Publishing house.

    In-house publishing is also known as publicly-funded publishing, and its main body is the publishing house. It is the publishing house that independently carries out topic selection planning and market operation according to its own judgment, and publishes and distributes the books planned by the publisher on its own. Authors don't have to spend a penny, and they also get paid or royalties from publishers.

    2. Cooperative publishing.

    Books that are planned and published by a book publishing intermediary company in cooperation with a publishing house are sold by the book publishing intermediary company itself or jointly distributed with the publishing house, and the income distribution is different according to the author's contribution.

    3. Self-funded publication.

    Self-financed publishing has certain similarities with co-publishing. Authors provide manuscripts and operating funds to publish their own copyrighted books at their own expense. <>

    Self-published ** was originally very transparent, but in recent years, the number fee has increased month by month, and the number fee of different publishing houses has also widened the gap and become less transparent.

    Let me explain in detail the cost of self-funded book (single book number). Note that it's the cost, it's the cost of running the studio.

    1. Book number fee.

    This is the bulk of the expenditure, and the current book number fee is between 10,000 and 80,000.

    The vast majority of unknown societies are around 10,000. Let's take 10,000. There are, but it is difficult to get to, in addition to the fact that there are more monks and less porridge, there is also the restriction of whether the subject matter is in line with the publishing direction of the publishing house.

    To put it bluntly, I have been engaged in publishing for 20 years, and recently asked for 6 book numbers: 2 from A Society, 1 from Wan Society; There are 4 B companies and 1 million companies. By the way, I don't do self-funded publishing, nor do I do a book-number intermediary, so don't look for me if you need a book-number or self-funded book.

    After 20 years in the industry, not self-funded publishing is the bottom line.

    2.Proofreading fee.

    The vast majority of companies have this fee, which is generally 10 yuan per thousand words (number of words in the layout). According to the calculation of 250,000 words in a book, 2,500 yuan.

    3.Cover design and typography.

    In view of the fact that most of the self-funded books are designed and typeset by five cents, and the monochrome text-only books, the cover and typesetting are counted as 1,000 yuan. Don't bar. I know there are expensive ones. In addition, if there are four colors and multiple pictures, the typesetting fee is at least 20 yuan per page, and it may also be forty or fifty.

    For the time being, it is 1000 yuan.

    4.Printing and binding fees.

    250,000 words **, 16 open, 16 sheets, 70g glue, paperback, single black, printed 2,000 volumes, a total of less than 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan. (The difference between printing 2,000 copies and 1,000 copies is only 2,000 yuan, the less the less cost-effective, and 3,000 copies are more appropriate).

    Count 10,000 yuan.

    5.Supplement. Most publishers require printing fee postings.

    This is more complicated to explain, you need to pay the publisher a printing fee, and the publisher will help you pay the printing house, and refund the excess and make up for the deficiency. Generally, you have to pay when you sign the contract, so this fee will only take up your funds for a while.

    This counts as 0.

    To sum up: 35000 + 2500 + 1000 + 10000 = 47500 yuan.

    This is the normal cost price for the current ISBN, and it is normal for it to fluctuate up and down (there are quite a few variables). If it is handled by a private company, at least 10,000 yuan will be added, a total of 57,500 yuan, which is the minimum profit that a company should receive.

    Of course, there are exceptions, you have friends in the A company of the Wanshu number fee, and you only need 20 sample books, and you can do it for less than 30,000.

    Book number, review, cover layout, print 20 copies. Less than 30 thousand.

    As for the steps of publishing, after the contract is signed, it is good to let the publisher go through the process, and there will be books in four or five months.

    It should be noted that some sensitive subjects should not be touched, and there should be no plots and texts in the work that violate the publication regulations. If the subject matter is sensitive, it will be shot directly, and there is no room for revision.

    If it's just some plot and text violations, it needs to be revised, and it takes a lot of time to come and go. This time is difficult to estimate.

    It depends on whether you want a book number or not, and it is easier to do without a book number. If you're done yourself, find a printing shop, typesetting and printing, and it won't cost you a few dollars. If it is required to have the number (commonly known as the publication number) issued by the CIP data of the National Library, from the perspective of the publishing system, it is not costly, but from the perspective of book marketing, the publishing house cannot lose money, so it adopts the method of advocating the publisher (author, the author's client) to pay in advance and the publication fee to operate the book publishing business.

    In other words, if you want this book number, you need to pay about 2 30,000 yuan for the book number first; According to the editing and printing, the number of prints, the method of distribution, etc., this is about 1 3 times the number fee (the higher the price, the greater the cost here). That's the fee to be paid.

    But I want to make it clear that I am not paying for nothing, but I want to use the money as the cost of buying back the book I published. For example, if the unit price of a book is 50 yuan, and you pay 50,000 yuan, you will recite 1,000 books yourself; If the unit price is 25 yuan, then you will carry back 2,000 books yourself. - Of course, this is also a more worrying thing for the author.

    Of course, there are other cases where if the manuscript is determined to be published, almost everyone has to buy it. In this case, there is no question of "publication fees". And the remuneration will also increase.

    Publication management fee, i.e. ISBN fee. Generally speaking, this fee varies depending on the reputation and level of the publisher. For top liberal arts publishers such as Zhonghua Book Company and China Social Sciences Press, the book number fee is generally more than 30,000 yuan.

    The book number fee of local publishing houses is generally about 20,000 yuan. The proofreading fee, mainly the cost of word processing of the manuscript, varies from publisher to publisher, generally ranging from 50 to 100 yuan per 10,000 words. The typesetting and production fee is the cost of typesetting and processing the manuscript, which is generally typeset by professional typesetters using Founder book version software.

    After the typesetting is completed, there is also the cost of producing film, and the role of film in printing is similar to the negative film of the past processing and printing. The cover design fee is generally 300 yuan per cover, including the cost of proofing and filming. The printing cost is relatively easy to understand, and the factors that determine the printing cost mainly include the book format, printed sheets, and the number of copies.

    Suppose that the opening of a book is 32 pages, 300 pages, and 1000 copies are printed, according to the current printing price per sheet in Shandong is yuan, if the number of copies printed increases, the unit price per sheet will decrease due to the marginal effect.

    Once you have determined the word count of a book, you need to confirm whether your manuscript can be published free of charge by a publisher, which is what we call publicly-funded publishing. You don't need to spend money, the publisher thinks that your book has a market prospect, and is willing to help you publish it for free, and give you a remuneration from the book sold. Remuneration is generally 6%-12% for novice authors.
