Writing Fun – Publishing Contract

But be careful with publishing contracts, a comparison of the services offered is indispensable. Only a few characteristics of good publishers are an ordinary publishing contract, help with the design of the book cover, a good editorial, sales, marketing, book fairs and press work. However, some publishers separately calculate these services and you should inform yourself carefully before conclusion of the contract the cost. So you can try there luck, where it is often the least suspected it. The aspiring author, rummages through the Internet, clicks from Publisher to Publisher. Always in the hope of somehow to accommodate his manuscript. Like he would talk with a Publisher or Publisher representatives.

So hundreds copies of expensively acquired books are later at worst at home in the cellar and no one would like to have it. Or it will be in the new books on demand “procedures only on-demand printed and it retains a few a few copies to comparatively high production costs, which can be used just in the circle of friends of the author.” Where now with the manuscript? It’s easier than you think: try your luck at publishers who draw attention with a small indication perhaps that new authors are welcome. A good tip is the Working Group of smaller publishers (GAB) in the Stock Exchange Association of the German book trade. Although these publishers partly with grants or sponsors working, because you can not alone bear the risk of the cost still unknown authors, but these totals keep quite limited and they offer often much cheaper even all that big publishers offer.
