2. The ISBN can only be obtained through the application of the publishing house and used by the publishing house; The author grants the publishing right of the work to the publishing house within a certain period of time, and the publishing house makes the work have a book number, reasonably prices it, and issues it through the issuing unit.
3. Self-funded publishing: As the name implies, it is to bear all the expenses required for publishing a book, mainly for people whose manuscript quality is not particularly high or relatively small, and there is no market prospect, but the author himself really wants to publish a book.
The specific operation mode of self-funded publishing is to find a book company that can provide self-funded publishing business. The two sides negotiated the specific requirements and price of the book and gave them the manuscript. The remaining thing is to sign a publishing contract after the topic is passed, then pay for it, and finally get the book you want after the book is published.
4, print dozens of books at will, give them to friends, or collect them yourself, then you don't need book numbers. You only need to pay the cost of production and computer, that is, short edition printing. Of course, in this way, the cost of each book is probably around 50 yuan. (It also includes cover design, text typesetting, text finalization, etc. )
Extended data:
The process of publishing books at one's own expense is as follows:
1. When the author finishes the manuscript and has some ideas about the manuscript, he can inform the professional self-funded publishing company of his own ideas and the basic situation of the manuscript, and both parties can negotiate the publishing plan.
2. After the publication plan is settled, the author submits the complete manuscript and author profile to the self-funded publishing institution, and the company helps the author to complete the declaration of topic selection.
This work is very important and essential for any manuscript. No matter what the manuscript is, it can only be recognized by the publishing house through topic selection and argumentation, and finally it can be published in the form of official publications.
Third, after the manuscript has passed the topic selection, the original text or picture design needs to be typeset into a mature book layout. This work includes typesetting design and cover design of books. These manuscripts are finally revised by the author, that is, proofs, and will eventually be handed over to the publishing house for final signature.
4. When the publishing house distributed CIP data and ISBN of China Book, the basic work of the whole manuscript had been completed, and the film was made by the company responsible for design and typesetting.
5. Send it to the printing factory to print it into a book. Finally delivered to the author.
Many authors judge the quality of a self-funded publishing institution by the speed of publishing books, which is very one-sided. The quality of the company is not to help the manuscript find a publishing house, find a printing house and let it be published in a hurry. The most important thing is to find the most suitable carrier for the author's thought, so that the thought shines because of the form, and the form is immortal because of the thought.
It should be the author's concern to publish a good book and make his own work a masterpiece. My point is not to ignore speed, but not to let speed surpass everything. On the premise of ensuring the quality, we should pursue the speed of publishing books and try our best to improve the quality. These two aspects are both critical and indispensable.
