If he wanted to publish a novel, how should he publish it? If the publishing house bore the publishing costs, how should the profit be calculated and how much should it be?

To publish a novel, one had to work with a publishing house and submit the novel to them.

Usually, the publishing house would include the publishing fee in the price of the book, so the amount of money that readers had to pay when they bought the book was the profit of the publishing house. However, the profits of a publishing house would also be affected by the number of books sold, the readership, pricing, and other factors. The cost of publishing a novel usually ranged from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, depending on the type of novel, the quality, and the choice of the publishing house. The profits of the publishing house usually ranged from a few yuan to tens of yuan, depending on the number of books sold and the readership.
