On the process of book publishing

1. Book publishing process

△ The author applies to the publishing house for book publishing (submission) on this website.

△ Policy editors contact valuable book authors.

△ Publishing House Topic Selection Demonstration

△ The publishing house shall declare the selected topic to the press and publication bureaus of the provinces and cities where it is located.

△ Examining and approving topics, and accepting subscription and publishing contracts for book manuscripts.

△ Book editors sign book publishing contracts, go through publishing procedures and choose printing units.

△ Handle the power of attorney for printing, supervise the acceptance of printed books, and take back the sample books for film delivery.

Planning and editing market research → proposing topic planning → designating the author (or accepting the author's contribution) → reviewing catalogue samples, interactive editing → author's contribution.

Topic selection and project establishment → signing publishing contract → submission registration → responsible editor's preliminary review, editing and processing → computer typesetting and printing the first draft → primary proofreading → computer error correction and modification → secondary proofreading (part of which is sent to the author for proofreading);

Rejection → Computer proofreading → Editor-in-Chief's review → President/Editor-in-Chief's final review or issuance → Three proofreading → Computer proofreading → Editing, reading and proofreading → Cover design and review → Pre-press review → Computer proofreading → Printing and binding in printing plant → Sample book inspection → New book review.

2. The publishing process is very long, involving many people, and it takes 3 to 6 months to publish a book.

The above introduction has not involved the production process and layout planning of the cover. It does not involve the binding and printing process, nor does it involve the work of the marketing department. As can be seen from the above process, the publication of books needs the cooperation of many people and various departments. Generally speaking, the normal publishing cycle of books with about 300,000 words is about 3 to 6 months.

The first thing is to be confident.

Everyone has a chance to succeed. Remember that there is a famous saying in>: I don't know which stove has a typewriter, and I am making the next & gt bestseller type (literally). The publishing industry is so magical sometimes, and the next legend may be you.

Second, look for market gaps.

I often say: Why do they sell well? Because people need it, and it is scarce. Because of scarcity, prices can also be raised appropriately. Bus seats are scarce, but the price is the same as the station ticket. ...

At present, the homogenization of book topics is very serious. But there are still many blank spots, depending on your eyes.

At present, social development changes rapidly, and change means opportunities.

Third, I can write better.

It is also a good idea that people have my essence besides me.

You have better writing ideas, more detailed study arrangements and more caring services. It happens to be a best-selling topic, and it is no problem to accommodate more topics in the market. Generally speaking, publishers pay authors fees in three ways:

(1) One-time buyout

That is, the publisher gives the price according to the quality of the manuscript, and the author agrees to sign the contract.

This kind of situation is relatively rare, and it is generally used by publishing houses in areas where it is difficult to calculate the manuscript fee, such as picture books.

(2) Fei Zi

This has been used in China for many years, and it is paid according to the standard of how many yuan per thousand words.

The Word count method is not based on the counting function in Word as many authors think, but on the number of words in the layout.

For example, generally speaking, a page in 16 format has 1.5 to 1.6 thousand words depending on the publishing house. This avoids the problem of how to calculate the map.

(3) Royalty

This is an internationally accepted calculation method. Is to link the author's manuscript fee with the actual sales.

The calculation method is:

Book Pricing × Edition Tax Rate × Issue Quantity

Once the book sells well, the author's income will be considerable. For example, the autobiography of the Clintons sells well and can bring them considerable wealth.

This payment method is related to the author's labor quality and distribution market, which is relatively fairer. Using this payment method, the author's service to readers is also easier to realize and take the initiative.

It should be noted that "number of issues" refers to the number of books actually sold, not "number of prints".

Of course, on the basis of these three basic payment methods, there are some supplementary payment methods.

For example, the first printing is paid by the number of words, and the author is paid a certain royalty for each reprint.

How to levy personal income tax on the income from remuneration?

A: According to the relevant regulations, personal income tax is levied at a reduced rate of 20% on the income from remuneration for writing, and the tax payable is levied at a reduced rate of 30%. Every time the remuneration income is less than 4,000 yuan, 800 yuan will be deducted; Above 4000, deduct 20% of the cost.
