The Invisible Book Chain:
An Overview of the Publishing Process

You write your proposal or manuscript.
V
You or your agent submits your book.
V
Your editor likes it enough to do a proposal to buy it.
V
An editor-in-chief or editorial board decides whether to buy it and for how much.
V
You sign a contract and receive the first part of your advance against royalties.
V
If you sold your book with a proposal, you write your book.
V
Your editor edits your manuscript.
V
You respond to your editor’s suggestions.
V
Your editor accepts your manuscript.
V
You receive the second part of your advance.
V
Your editor sends your manuscript to the production department, so it can be published simultaneously in print, and as an ebook and audio book.
V
The production department copyedits your manuscript.
V
You respond to your copyeditor’s comments.
V
The art department creates or outsources the interior design
and the cover for a paperback and ebook or the hardcover jacket.
V
In a series of launch meetings, your editor and the sales, marketing, publicity, and advertising departments:
– position your book on one of your publisher’s seasonal lists
– create a trade and consumer-marketing plan
– choose the print, broadcast, and electronic trade and consumer media to carry out the plan
– prepare sales materials for sales conference.
V
Throughout the rest of the process, your agent or publisher tries to sell subsidiary rights.
V
Your publisher will print advance reading copies (ARCs) and send them to early reviewers and for cover quotes.
V
Your book and the plans for it are presented to the sales reps.
V
Sales reps sell your book to on- and offline bookstores, distributors, wholesalers, specialty stores, warehouse clubs, and mass-market distributors; and to school, college, and public libraries.
V
Your publisher’s education department sells books with adoption potential.
V
Your publisher’s special-sales department tries to sell bulk orders for books with premium and bulk-sales potential.
V
The production department arranges to print your book.
V
Your publisher’s warehouse receives books from the printer, ships orders, and later receives returns.
V
Your publisher’s advertising and publicity departments:
– do prepublication promotion
– send out review copies of your book.
V
Your book is published and has a brief launch window in which you and your publisher try to generate sales momentum with publicity, reviews, promotion, reading groups, and traditional and social media.
V
Readers learn about your book in a bookstore, in a library, from on- and offline media, a reading group, a review, or a friend. They read it, love it, and tell others they must read it.
V
Your publisher promotes your book for as long as sales justify it.
V
You promote your book for as long as you want it to sell.
V
Reprint meetings decide when to:
– reprint and how many copies
– sell or remainder part or all the stock if sales are too low
– make your book available in a print-on-demand edition
– put your book out of print at which time you can ask for the rights back and republish it.
V
You write the proposal or manuscript for your next book.

/ note: i’m posting new articles only on the OLD.RIP blog — no longer sharing on other platforms. i do not have any social accounts related to the OLD.RIP name, except as a test on “telegram” which is now discontinued. with my old ‘youthextension’ wordpress blog i did try out many social platforms — all discontinued years ago. no more time to do the same with OLD.RIP blog. i am not using any other social sharing or calling or messaging apps but only the OLD.RIP and “telegram”. keeping it to minimum — got life to live. /
