Hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and
today we'll be talking about how a book
gets published the basics of how a book
that's published please note that this
refers to mainstream publishing and not
self-publishing which is something else
entirely
but most of the books you see in
bookstores happen this way for a
first-time author a book generally
starts with a completely finished and
polished manuscript for fiction and
memoirs in a proposal and a sample page
for nonfiction yes novelist you have to
write the whole thing published authors
can sometimes sell novels on proposal
it's then generally advisable for an
unpublished author to find a literary
agents very few publishers these days
accept submissions from uh nogen tada
and a good agent can give a project a
better chance at succeeding and will
usually be able to negotiate a better
deal than the author would be able to
achieve on their own once an agent has
taken on a project they then send it to
one or more editors at different
publishing houses the agent will
specifically target the submission to
the editors that they feel are most
appropriate for the book the editors
take a look at the project and if it's
something they are interested in they
will share it with your colleagues and
bosses to gauge enthusiasm once the
editor has to go ahead to move forward
with the project they will send the
agent and offer the submission process
can take anywhere from a week to a year
or more depending on when or if the
agent finds a match for the project an
author usually includes an advance
royalties territory and other specific
terms sometimes the offer will be for
one book or sometimes it will be for
multiple books if more than one editor
is interested there might be an option
to determine which publisher will make
the best offer when the deal points have
been agreed upon and the author accepts
an offer the publisher will then send a
contract which the agent or the agency's
contracts director will negotiate after
the contract is in sight if the project
was sold on proposal it's then time for
the author to write the book once the
manuscript is completed for nonfiction
or after the contract is signed for
fiction the auditor will usually send an
editorial letter see
justing content changes that the author
will then make these changes are
somewhat negotiable but for the most
part authors will follow their editors
suggestions when the changes have been
made and the manuscript is deem
editorially acceptable it moves to copy
editing where typos and other errors are
corrected and designed as it will look
on the page the author has to review the
different versions of the completed
manuscripts to catch typos the publisher
is also working during this time on the
design of the book including the cover
trim size paper size and other design
considerations meanwhile the editor is
coordinating with their marketing and
sales teams to write copy for the
publisher seasonal catalog write the
jacket copy to hopefully generate
enthusiasm among the sales team for the
project and to help shape the marketing
plans several months before the book's
publication the sales team will be
coordinating with bookstore buyers and
other accounts as they place their
orders which helps determine how many
copies of the book the publisher prints
the agent usually keeps tabs on this
process to make sure everything is
happening according to plan the
publication process from finished
manuscript to in books or books usually
takes a year or more can occasionally be
compressed if it is an especially timely
project but the process usually requires
quite a bit of lead time when
publication date arrives the book goes
on sale and the author is rich and
famous beyond their wildest dreams
sometimes not usually the author then
gets cracking on their next book or
rather they should already have been
cracking and the process repeats the end

time reading or finishing your book
