Process of
book publication with the traditional publisher
If you apply to any book publisher India, it can take many
months before you receive an answer. If this turns out to be positive for you,
you will receive a medium-term author's contract. This regulates which rights
are connected with the publication of the book, how much you receive as
author's fee, and which obligations you enter into.
In a conversation with the book
publisher, clarify thoroughly all open questions about how they publish your
book. Above all, this includes questions about the contract before you sign it.
If you're asked to pay high four- to five-digit sums of money in advance, your
alarm bells should ring.
Under certain circumstances, you will
then have to deal with the publishing company.
After it has taken you a long time to
find a publisher, you should be aware that the process of getting a book
published by a publisher can be very tedious. Not infrequently, even after
positive feedback from a publisher, it will take another one to two years
before your book is published.
This is mainly because book
publishers traditionally work with half-yearly programs, i.e. bring a new
publishing program onto the market once in spring and once in autumn.
When you are ready, an editor will
first set out to read your book thoroughly and revise it. You have to expect
that whole passages will be deleted or rewritten or that you will have to
revise much passage of the book yourself. So your book will possibly be changed
very much without you being able to prevent it.
After the text has been revised, it
is passed on to the production and typesetting department, where the text is
professionally typeset with everything that goes with it.
At the same time, the editor,
marketing department, and illustrators deal with the selection of a book title,
a cover, or the complete design of the book cover. Your book is then ready to
go to the press and get published. All of this sounds attractive, but as
described it is a long process.
If that's not what you want, then you
must get your book published by one of the best international book publishers in India “Rumour Books India”. Being
