MAIN - Book Publishing. To publish, submit manuscript to publish in book form.

Publishing 2005

Just My Best, Inc. plans to publish 6-8 books in 2005. We enjoy working with new authors who have finished their first manuscript. Since we work directly with authors they don't need an agent.

The author should do two complete edits on the manuscript before they submit it. Submit the entire manuscript via email.

Once the manuscript is submitted allow six weeks for a response.

We are not publishing books on poetry, religion, or erotica this year.

A Publisher Can Publish

Different Kinds of Materials

By Janet Sue Terry

Just as the term publishing can mean different kinds of publishing, a publisher can publish different kinds of materials. These materials can include things like cdroms, music video, motion pictures, and the paper variety such as newspapers, magazines, and of course books. The publisher you work with will contribute to the success of your book. Most punishers take pride in their work.

When meeting or speaking to a publisher make tell them what you expect from your self publishing venture. In addition, make sure you are clear on the results you would like to achieve. Verify that your publisher is experienced with book publishing.

Choose a book publisher who has samples to show you. If you want to distribute your book make sure the book publisher can show you examples of their current books listed on major online book stores.

If you want your book publisher to have your book edited, ask for references on the editor. Ask the book publisher for the editor’s qualifications. It is equally important to ask your book publisher what the price will be on your book, what size and type font it will have, what size the book will be, how much of a discount you will receive on the books you order.

If you sign a contract, study it for information on royalty payments and length of contract. If any of these things disturb you, discuss them with your book publisher. Remember the book publisher is working for you. It should be your way or no way since you are paying for publishing the book. If you cannot reach an agreement with your book publisher, look for another one. There are many good book publishers to choose from.
