The first is to contact the publishing house.
One is to contact the publishing house directly, and the other is to contact the bookseller or copyright intermediary;
Contact the publishing house directly, as the name implies, that is, you deal with the publishing house directly.
The other is that you give the copyright to a third-party agent, and the third-party agent will help you publish it.
The second part is to give some samples to the publishing house.
According to the result of your negotiation, you can take out one-fifth to one-third of your works and submit them to the publishing house for review.
If the other party agrees, you may need to read your complete draft.
It should be noted here that if you cooperate with a regular publishing house, you can safely hand over the whole manuscript to the other party.
Generally, there will be no infringement by publishing houses.
If you are a bookseller or copyright agent, you need to know each other's background, and it is best to find a reputable one.
And have successful publishing experience to cooperate.
This is that detail of the contract negotiated by both party,
For example, how to calculate the reward.
One is a one-time buyout by the other party, such as paying you a sum of money at one time according to a thousand words of N yuan. During the authorization period of the work,
You won't get any other rewards; The other is to pay according to the number of prints, that is, according to the number of books you publish.
Pricing * number of issues * appropriate percentage = your income
The third is the basic remuneration+printing remuneration, which means giving you a small sum of money first, and then settling accounts according to the circulation, of course, because
I gave you some money in advance, so the percentage of the print run reward will be reduced accordingly.
At present, considering the market risk, most publishers adopt the second and third methods.
If the author is confident in his work, I also suggest the second and third methods.
Followed by the terms of the contract.
It is the time limit for your work to be published by a publishing house. During this period, they will publish it, and you can't give it to other publishing organizations.
Repeatedly published, after the expiration of the contract, you can freely choose to transfer the copyright to another publishing house.
The other is the derivative part of copyright.
It mainly includes simplified Chinese copyright, traditional Chinese copyright, English translation copyright and overseas distribution right.
You need to think it over. It is usually given to the publishing house at one time. If your work is very good and you have full confidence, you can consider it.
Only the mainland copyright of simplified Chinese was given to the other party.
When both parties discuss this, the contract will be formally signed.
If you talk to the publishing house directly, just sign a contract with the publishing house directly.
If you are negotiating with a book and need to publish it yourself, you just need to sign your name at the signature of the contract author, and another unit will publish it.
Sign on behalf of your company and publishing house;
If you are looking for a copyright intermediary, you can sign a contract with the publishing house directly, but you need to give part of the manuscript fee as a commission to the intermediary. As for the details,
The percentage is obtained after your discussion, and generally it will not exceed 30%.
The next step is for both sides to discuss how to revise the manuscript.
Generally, the contract will state that the author needs to modify the manuscript according to the requirements of the editor, so if you have confidence in your work and are afraid of being changed too much,
You need to discuss with the other party before signing.
After the contract is finalized, the publishing society will operate according to the publishing process, such as declaring topics, which has little to do with you.
After a period of time (the duration depends on the actual situation of each publishing house), your work came out.
If the one-time buyout method was used at that time, you can get the manuscript fee after signing the contract;
If the second method is adopted, the publishing house will pay you the corresponding remuneration within a certain period of time after the publication and listing of the work (through consultation between the two parties);
If the third method is adopted, you will get the first money after signing the contract, and the publishing house will pay you the corresponding remuneration after the work is published and listed for a certain period of time (through consultation between the two parties).
How was there an agreement in the original contract after the work went on the market? If the publishing house needs it, you may need to cooperate with the publishing house to participate in some works promotion activities, such as signing sales. Such expenses (air tickets, accommodation, meals) are generally borne by the publishing house. ...& gt& gt
Question 2: How to contribute to the publishing house? In this article, I will introduce the basic steps and precautions of the author's submission to the publishing house. These methods can help authors improve the pass rate of submission.
First, formulate publishing strategy.
Although the slogan of the publishing industry is "social benefits first, combining social benefits with economic benefits", you can probably feel that "social benefits" are just empty talk just by visiting bookstores. Before, the publishing houses in our country were all institutions, mainly supported by financial allocations; Now almost all of them have been restructured into enterprises, and they need to be responsible for their own profits and losses. Each editing room (some project teams) and editors bear certain quantitative indicators, such as the number of words, the amount of code (that is, pricing multiplied by sales) and profit. If you can't edit these indicators, you won't get the year-end bonus. Private booksellers who have been groping in the market will also carefully consider the cost and income of each book. Therefore, when an editor receives a contribution, he almost always asks, "How much will this book make me?"
In other words, if the author wants to publish his works, he needs to consider how many copies the book can sell and how much the editor can earn.
Generally speaking, only when the sales volume of a book reaches about 3,000 copies can a publishing house break even; If it reaches 8000~ 10000 copies, editing and distribution will make money. Of course, for the sake of scale or reputation, publishers sometimes publish books at a loss, but in general, there is great pressure on profit. If your book was originally written for a minority, or the editor predicts that your book sales are limited, you may need to pay a little "publishing subsidy", usually in the form of giving a sum of money to the publishing house and the publishing house giving you a bunch of books; The rest of the books were put on the market. Or you can choose "author underwriting" and buy all the printed books yourself; This publishing house is no longer open to the public.
Therefore, you need to think clearly before submitting the manuscript: how much time and money are you willing to pay at most for the publication of this book? Many publishing houses require a publishing subsidy of around 20,000 yuan, ranging from 50,000 yuan. There are some half-dead local publishing houses, which may cost only a few thousand dollars.
If you don't want to pay, you should think about how to package yourself as a potential author and how to make your schoolbag look like it can sell well. I listed some methods:
-Introduce your professional status. Although you have never written a book before and are a new author, you have accumulated rich experience in your own industry and are an authority or expert in a certain field.
-Move out your title. Titles in units, related organizations and associations can come in handy. Of course, it must be a title related to this book. I once accepted a financial monograph. In the introduction, the author said that he is a director of the UFO enthusiasts association. Of course, this title is useless and even counterproductive for promoting his book.
-Explore your own sales channels. Can you sell books through your own relationship? Is it possible to sell books through trade associations? Is it possible to sell books through speeches, lectures, salons and workshops? Is it possible to bundle your book with other products? Is it possible to find a company to give you your book as a gift?
-compare similar books. If your book happens to be the best-selling theme in the market, or you are comparable to the best-selling author, you might as well bring it in.
-Write a letter of recommendation from a celebrity. Do you have any friends who are university professors, corporate executives and celebrities? Ask them to help recommend some.
Providing the above information to the editor when submitting a manuscript can greatly improve the probability of passing the topic.
Some authors may think, since the ISBN can also be bought and the sales channels can be found by themselves, what else can the publishing house participate in? Go all out and publish at your own expense. In fact, it is not impossible to publish at one's own expense, but the supervision of the publishing industry is very strict, and it will be very troublesome to do it yourself. Almost every link from editing to distribution has access conditions and qualification requirements. Especially in the distribution link, if you don't have the qualification of book wholesale, your book can't even be Dangdang and excellent, let alone enter Xinhua Bookstore. So even if you buy a book number and print it yourself, as long as you want readers to buy your book, you still have to find a general distributor. Searching for "book publishing companies" on the Internet can find many private enterprises doing this kind of business.
Second, choose a publishing house.
After deciding whether you are willing to pay for this book and how much to pay at most, the next step is to choose the most suitable publishing house for your book. Books published simply for publication, such as books with professional titles, go to a half-dead publishing house and give some money. From this section, I will only talk about the works that unite the author's painstaking efforts, want to gain some social influence and collide with some sparks of thought.
The ultimate quality of a book and its possible social impact are not just ... >; & gt
Question 3: How to submit the novel to the publishing house (how to sign a contract with the publishing house, etc.). ) 1. You can go to the big bookstore to have a look at some books with similar positioning to yours, open the copyright pages (some are on the back of the first page, some are on the back of the last page), and there is a publishing house that has the responsibility to edit them. Who do you think can finish your book and write down their names?
Then go online to find the address and phone number of the publishing house and let them edit it, so you can have a good talk with them.
3. If the publisher fails to reply within six months after receiving the manuscript, the author may request the publisher to return the manuscript and pay the legal economic compensation according to law. According to Article 16 of the Regulations on Remuneration for Publishing Literary Works: "The author voluntarily submits a manuscript to the book publishing house, and the publishing house shall decide whether to adopt it within six months. If a contract is not signed with the author after six months, it is not adopted, and the author is not informed, the publishing house shall pay economic compensation to the author according to 30% of the average remuneration of similar works as stipulated in Article 6, and return the manuscript to the author. " This provision allows publishers to consider whether to adopt the deadline for submission, that is, six months. It should be noted here that the premise of this article is "the author actively contributes", which is not applicable if it is a publishing house. In the process of submission, the writer should pay attention to the preservation of relevant evidence, such as registered letter documents or emails, so as to prove the submission date in the future.
Before the novel is published, the publishing house signs a contract with you. There is a time limit for signing the contract, usually five years. In other words, the copyright of this novel belongs to the publishing house within five years, and the author cannot entrust the novel to other publishing houses, otherwise it will be infringement.
After the expiration of the contract, if this publishing house doesn't propose to renew the contract, or you don't want to renew it yourself, you can terminate the contract, then the authority of the novel will return to the author, and you can rearrange your novel and contact other publishing houses.
Question 4: Is there anything to pay attention to when submitting a manuscript to a publishing house? How to write a novel?
-Matters needing attention in submitting a letter of recommendation
Different authors have different writing motives. Maybe I want to record my life, maybe I want to share some thoughts with my friends. Most authors hope that this novel can be published and shared with readers. If it can be recognized, the satisfaction is beyond words.
Unfortunately, many authors have never received a reply after sending their manuscripts to the publishing house. Or get a preliminary response, but ultimately fell short, failed to successfully cooperate with the publishing house to realize their wishes.
The number of self-recommended submissions is amazing.
According to the editing experience of business publishing house, the author provides some methods on how to contribute to the publishing house for reference.
Editors of publishing houses need to take care of a lot of work, including reviewing manuscripts. Many authors like to send the whole novel to the publishing house, hoping that the editor can read the whole manuscript and then discuss it for publication.
Famous publishing houses receive a large number of manuscripts every day, even to an alarming extent. A colleague told me that it is not easy to finish reading the manuscripts after receiving two feet of manuscripts a day.
It is suggested that when submitting a manuscript, only the outline and the first chapter of the novel, or the part that the author thinks is most attractive, should be sent to the publishing house. This can reduce postage expenses, save paper and contribute to environmental protection.
The editor has read the outline of the novel and read part of it. If Dan thinks the story is desirable and the author's writing is up to standard, he will naturally contact the contributor to ask for the full text of the novel, and then review or further negotiate.
The author's name, gender, pen name, contact number and publishing experience should be attached when submitting the manuscript.
Novels are consumer goods.
By the way, the principle of publishing house's manuscript selection.
Publishing houses are commercial organizations, which regard books as commodities. Only when the goods sell well in the market can the publishing house pay the operating expenses, the shareholders' investment be rewarded and the publishing house continue to operate.
Many novices think their works are the best, and every publishing house should publish them without hesitation. The problem is that novels, as a kind of consumer goods, must be recognized by consumers before they will pay for them. However, consumers' evaluation of novels is often different from that of authors.
Therefore, many new authors complain that publishing houses only focus on publishing novels with strong commercial flavor. Authors often openly say that publishing houses stifle creative freedom and ignore their works. The popularity of free publishing in recent years is understandable, but the author should be psychologically prepared and take the risk of money investment and "collecting thousands of books" at home.
Question 5: How to contact the publishing house to publish your own book and how to contribute to the publishing house? Generally, the author has finished or nearly finished the manuscript before contacting the publishing house. Then the author should contact the editor of the publishing house and send some or all of the manuscript to the editor for preliminary examination. Then the publishing house needs to confirm that it can assist in publishing, and the publishing house and the author can sign a preliminary intention to publish. Of course, before the topic is approved, in some cases, when the author needs it, he can also sign some kind of book publishing agreement. 1) If it is a domestic publishing house, the publishing house should apply to the Press and Publication Administration for examination and approval, and it can only be published after the topic is approved. The whole process will take at least a few months. 2) If it is a foreign publishing house, you can skip the Press and Publication Administration and publish directly. Then sign a formal contract. The author submitted a complete manuscript to the publishing house, and the editor of the publishing house began to carefully examine and process the manuscript. In principle, this step should be carried out after the contract is signed, but in many cases it can be carried out in advance according to the needs of the author. The manuscript can only be printed and published after repeated examination and proofreading in the publishing house. In the meantime, the editor certainly needs to communicate with the author constantly and exchange views on the revision of the manuscript. Then, make a cover and discuss the promotion method. 1) The domestic publishing society reported the book information to the Press and Publication Administration and applied for CIP and an ISBN. After CIP and ISBN are approved, they can be printed. 2) Foreign publishers do not need to apply for CIP (because foreign publishers are not bound by the Press and Publication Administration). Different from domestic publishing houses, foreign publishing houses generally assign two book numbers (electronic version+paper version) to a book, and also assign a DOI number to the book for retrieval (this is not available in many domestic publishing houses and Hong Kong shanzhai publishing houses). Generally, members of CrossRef can have this qualification.
Question 6: How to contribute to the publishing house? Now all publishing houses have mailboxes. You can send an email directly, or your manuscript is particularly valuable.
You can also recommend yourself at home.
As long as your stuff is good enough.
I believe you will succeed.
Question 7: How to submit a novel to a publishing house? Proofread it, then compile your novel into a book and send it to the editorial department of the publishing house where you want to submit it. It seems that one third should be sent to him for reference. If they agree to publish, they must sign a contract. If they don't agree, they can go to other publishing houses for publication, or they can give it to a third-party agent to help you complete the operation and publication. You can also ask your trusted partner for help. Just go to Baidu and ask "How to contribute to a publishing house". In Baidu Library. Hope to adopt ~

Question 9: How to contribute to the publishing house to earn the contribution fee? These things can be submitted to magazines, which will use some essays, stories, poems and so on. And jokes and cartoons. However, the money earned from this is very small, ranging from ten yuan to dozens of yuan (the length is not up to you, sometimes you can contribute 5,000 words, and when you use it, it may become 2,000 words). The most important thing is whether your contribution will be adopted. Generally speaking, more people will be rejected than used.
Question 10: How to contribute to the publishing house? In this article, I will introduce the basic steps and precautions of the author's submission to the publishing house. These methods can help authors improve the pass rate of submission.
