What should I pay attention to when publishing a book at my own expense?

1. The relationship between the number of words and the page number.

When we estimate the page number by the number of words, the No.5 font of the national printing standard shall prevail. If other fonts are used or typesetting is not in accordance with our standard format, the extra cost of extra page numbers will be borne by the author himself.

The following is the standard format: (the actual page number of the poem and drama shall prevail)

format

finished size

Number of lines and words

word number

comment

Big 32 folio

210 *145mm

28 lines *28 words

25,000 words (32 pages)

Xiao 16 folio

240 *170mm

30 lines *36 words

16000 words (16 pages)

Opposite Zhengdu 16

185 * 260mm

35 lines *4 1 word

23,000 words (16 pages)

Dafang 16 folio

210 * 285mm

42 lines *44 words

30,000 words (16 pages)

The above words all contain spaces, so when counting words in WORD, they are calculated by including spaces. The best way to convert tables and pictures separately is to roughly adjust and estimate them in your own words, so that misunderstandings are not easy to occur.

2. About typesetting:

Typesetting is very hard work, and it takes several days for a typesetting, so the manuscript given to us by the author had better be the final manuscript. If it is not the final draft, there will be an extra charge for document typesetting, and each page of 32 format and small 16 format will be charged in 3 yuan; Normal 16 format Massive 16 format charges 5 yuan per page, and if it is revised for more than 5 times, it will be regarded as re-typesetting.

3. About the cover design:

Cover design is also a very hard work. Our design is excellent, but people's aesthetics are really different. So before designing, you'd better tell us your aesthetics. The best way is to go to Dangdang to find your favorite cover type and send it to us, so that we can know your aesthetic taste roughly. Under normal circumstances, two drafts are designed, and if it is required to be revised more than four times, there will be additional expenses.

4. About comments:

The best process of peer review is: don't participate in peer review after the author gives it to us, and then we will send your manuscript out after the third review, so as not to be chaotic.

5. About paper and technology

Unless otherwise specified, the paper we use is 250g copper on the cover and 70g copper on the inside, which is light, thin, wireless, adhesive and covered with sub-film. Please consult the business personnel for the extra cost of special technology.

6. About logistics:

If the author wants to send the book to more than two destinations, he needs to pay extra, and the specific cost is calculated according to the distance.
