Publishing houses for beginners: be careful

The first commandment that the beginner must learn - by heart - when he starts looking for a publishing house: be careful. You can find it in our article dedicated to the characteristics that beginners should possess.

When writing a book it is obvious, normal, and natural to think about publishing it. Yes sure. But there are many factors to be analyzed calmly.

A good publishing house: check these characteristics

·     The publisher in question should, first of all, configure itself as a full-fledged publisher with an ISBN (International Serial Book Number) identifying it. Do you know that number that you find near the low code and the cover price? Here, that must contain a code that refers to the publisher who is therefore identified.

·       The presence of a catalog is another essential element: the publishing house may be young and therefore not yet have entered a large number of titles in the catalog but keep as a parameter the fact that at least 4-5 titles a year should publish them.

·       A cultural project- Publishing houses have an important mission: to spread culture. Aspect to be evaluated because a real cultural project cannot be missing. On the site, you should find the purpose that the publishing house proposes, a sort of manifesto in which it declares its cultural nature.

·       Not for a fee- The publishing house is a company in all respects and as such must be able to support itself with its means. You are not customers, you are professionals who "sell" and do not "buy" their work. This would be a full-fledged sale and not an editorial contract. But it is also a question of self-love and defense of a precious and creative work like that of the writer.

The editorial contract- The publisher must submit you a true publishing contract. At the end of this article, you can download the free resource that contains the model of an editorial contract required by law. Remember that the payment of royalties must be foreseen and regulated in the editorial contract.
