For any
writer who aspires to be an author, knowing how to publish a book is essential.
It's a common scenario you have an idea for a book but you have no way of
knowing how to translate that idea from your computer screen into print or
online.
We will be
guiding you through the book publishing process and give you the resources to
choose which publishing option fits your work best. But first, you should know
about traditional and self-publishing.
In traditional
publishing, the publisher handles the marketing, distribution, and
warehousing for your book. This is the traditional method to book publishing
because there is no expense to the author mainstream publishers make a profit
from the book's sales.
Whereas in self-publishing,
depending on which type of publisher or platform you choose, the majority of the
work falls on your shoulders and you pay for all expenses. The main advantages
of self-publishing are that you control when the book is published, you retain
all rights to your book, and you receive 100 percent of the profits.
Writer Guidelines and Procedure
The most important things needed for submitting your book
for publishing are correctly formatted files for Book Interior and Cover. Apart
from the files, you will need to provide the following information in the Book
Submission form.
·
Book Title
·
Author's Name
·
Language of the Book (this cannot
be changed later. You should select the correct language)
·
Category of the book (this cannot
be changed later. You should select the most suitably category)
·
Number of Pages: Number of Pages as
in the interior file of your book
·
Interior Paper Type: Between Plain
Paper and Coated Paper, Plain paper would be good for most books. For gift books
or for coloured books coated paper can be chosen.
·
Book Binding Type: Select Perfect
or Saddle Stitch Binding. Saddle Stitch Binding is available for 64 or lesser
number of pages. Perfect Binding is available for 50 or more pages. Select
accordingly. If a non-applicable option is chosen, we'd convert it to the
applicable one.
·
Colour Scheme: Whether the interior
of your book should be printed in black and white or coloured. Please note that
the book can be priced according to either all pages coloured or all page black
and white. Selected pages cannot price as coloured. If even one page is to be
printed in colour, it will have to be priced as a fully coloured book.
·
Book Dimension (The page size of
your book). Must correspond with the page size of your interior file.
·
Once the Book Files have passed the
technical review by our team, you will receive an e-mail with the instructions
to update the following and publish the book.
·
About the book: Can be skipped for
private books. For publicly listed books, it is strongly recommended that you
put a good, short abstract in the form of description. It should be something
that tempts users to buy the book. Simply saying "Human Resource Management"
does not convey much. Make sure that spellings and grammar is correct. If the
Book Description does not have correct language, it is unlikely that someone
will think of buying the book.
·
About the author: Can be skipped
for private book and totally depends on the author.
