Nounpublishers
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of literature or information – the activity of making information available for public view. In some cases authors may be their own publishers, meaning: originators and developers of content also provide media to deliver and display the content. Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books (the "book trade") and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources, such as the electronic versions of books and periodicals, as well as websites, blogs, video games and the like. Publishing includes: the stages of the development, acquisition, copyediting, graphic design, production – printing (and its electronic equivalents), and marketing and distribution of newspapers, magazines, books, literary works, musical works, software and other works dealing with information, including the electronic media. Publication is also important as a legal concept: (1) as the process of giving formal notice to the world of a significant intention, for example, to marry or enter bankruptcy; (2) as the essential precondition of being able to claim defamation; that is, the alleged libel must have been published, and (3) for copyright purposes, where there is a difference in the protection of published and unpublished works.

Q. When I walk through a bookstore, I see the hundreds and hundreds (or thousands!) of different books by different authors, most of which are not highly known and not likely to be a bestseller either. I always wonder, how the heck do these bookstores and publishers (and authors!) make any money off of most of the books? I would think that printing all these books that won't sell many copies would cost more than they actually get in return? Or do the small number of books that end up being bestsellers make up the difference? Thanks. Asked by Raging Hillbilly - Sat Aug 11 19:09:47 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. They both get percentages. But being that the publisher pays the authors, they take their share out of it, and only take what the contract allows. However, how well books do, is a factor. If they become best sellers, they get printed and sold longer than if they don't. Answered by Uncle John - Sat Aug 11 19:17:10 2007 Is it any way likely that literary agents or publishers would steal your work? Q. Just curious if well recognized literary agents or publishers would ever consider stealing your work? Say, if they sent back your manuscript with a reject slip...would you think that there would be any way that they would go behind your back and try to publish your work anyways? Asked by phillo74 - Tue Mar 24 16:03:57 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. That is why it is always wise to send in only a copy and not the original format of one's manuscript. Literary agents or publishers could be SUED if they steal anyone's work. That is one consolation for you. It is very wise, too, to get a copyright just in case that happens. Publishing is synonymous to getting that copyright for protecting your book which is why it is highly important to publish it. You may probably decide which way you want to go if you have exhausted all options. perhaps its best still if you happen to have a publishing plan mapped out and then go from there. In the meantime, I'll give you something to peruse while you are at it. Let me know if you have questions. :) Answered by Gbanana - Wed Mar 25 03:19:45 2009 Do you think FREE magazine publishers will agree to share advertising revenue?
Q. We understand, there are few thousand offering FREE magazines. They do this bec they earn out of advertisers. We are in the Far East country would like to reprint the same magazine but insert local advertisements share the revenue with the publisher. Do you think publishers will agree to this proposal? Asked by Begonia A - Thu Mar 12 05:09:16 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Why would they? They would lose editorial control for no good reason. They are more than capable of printing in other demographic areas if there is a market. Also most free media relies heavily on local content, you would have to re-write much of the content, not just change the ads. If you feel that there is a viable opportunity then why not start from scratch? You can source articles from other areas and write the local content yourself. If you were considering re-printing, then you would have to have a suitable print shop available - it doesn't take much more to do the whole thing. Don't forget that you need to arrange distribution - often that is the hardest part. Many vendors will have arrangements that they will not jeopardise for… [cont.] Answered by midnite.scribe - Thu Mar 12 05:23:30 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "publishers" |
