Is this an illegal publication?I'm not sure which novel you're referring to, but according to my knowledge, illegal publication usually refers to books, newspapers, magazines, journals, etc. that are illegally published, printed, or distributed without authorization. These may involve copyright issues, poor printing quality, illegal content, or unsuitable for public distribution.
If you can provide more specific information, I will try my best to provide you with a more accurate answer.
Monograph publicationMonograph publishing was divided into publicly-funded publishing and self-funded publishing. The cost of publicly-funded publishing was borne by the publishing party, and the cost was recovered by selling the book. For self-funded publishing, the author would bear all the costs. Most academic monologues needed to be published at their own expense, but the monologues published as project topics could be repaid with project funds.
The publishing process was as follows:
1. ** Selection of topics **: Whether it's the call for manuscripts or the planning of the topic selection, you must first make a topic selection form, which includes basic information such as the author's introduction, content introduction, word count, etc. It also includes the extraction of selling points, reader confirmation, market analysis, comparison of similar books, and so on.
2. ** Sign a contract **: After the topic is selected, the editor and author will sign a contract according to the agreement.
3. ** Proofreading Work **: After the editor reads the manuscript, he will find out the market selling point and let the author adjust the text, such as deleting the content, changing the text direction, adjusting the table of contents, and so on.
4. ** Typography **: The editor will hand the document to the typographer to negotiate the layout, font size, character spacing, chapter pages, book eyebrows, etc., to ensure that the error rate of typos, sentences, punctuations, style design, typography, content logic, etc. is less than one in ten thousand.
5. ** Submit by the publishing house **: The application form submitted by the editor to the publishing house during the project approval is different from the planning topic selection form. After the publishing house is confirmed, the application form will be filled in according to the format of the topic selection. The publishing house will review whether the topic selection is suitable for publication.
6. ** Cover Creation **: During the review and application period of the publishing house, the editor has to make the cover copy, including the main title, sub-title, cover slogan, back cover copy, front and back cover copy, etc., and communicate the design style with the designer and provide reference books.
7. ** Obtain book number, etc. **: The wholesale book number of the publishing house and the CIP-data. This is the book's "ID card", indicating whether the book is in compliance.
8. ** Text Release **: The editor checks the printed sheets, and checks the table of contents, page number, book head, page format, etc. After there are no errors, he will make a film document and send it to the company. After the film company sends the film, the editor will check the paper manuscript to ensure that there are no errors.
9. ** Print work **: fill in the pre-press handover form, determine the number of printed sheets, waist seal, color type, process, paper, etc., the size, thickness, and cost of these decisions. After signing by all parties, the sample will be sent to the printing house for printing. The cover and the inner text are usually printed by different printing houses.
10. ** Post-marketing **: After the website and media marketing is over, follow-up marketing will be carried out if the effect is good.
Monograph publishing fees varied, generally ranging from 50,000 to 80,000 yuan, and were affected by factors such as the level of the publishing house, the location of the application, the number of words submitted, the professional direction, and the length of the manuscript. National level publishing houses usually had higher publishing fees than ordinary publishing houses, and the price of the book number was also higher. In terms of reporting the author's position, the sole author's all-inclusive fee was the highest, which was equivalent to buying the copyright of the entire book. If there were multiple authors, such as two authors, the first author and the second author would share the cost and the first author's reporting fee would be slightly higher. If there were three authors, the first author's reporting fee would be higher than the second author's and the third author's. At the same time, the higher the number of words declared, the higher the fee. The application fees for different majors were also different.
In addition, the publication of a book can also receive funding from its own unit (for example, a university has a publishing fund, which can be applied at a specific time every year, and can be fully or partially funded through the review of the expert group), provincial level (application and approval are required), National Social Science Fund (projects with post-publication fund funding can be applied), and publishing institutions (some publishing houses will sponsor excellent publication to build their image).
The problem of submitting a novelThe following steps were generally required for a novel submission:
1. Confirm the type of submission: Including fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, romance, urban, etc. Choose a suitable submission platform according to the type of novel.
2. Prepare the work: Prepare a complete novel, including the table of contents, chapters, introduction, outline, etc. Pay attention to the original and readable work.
3. Submit your work: submit your work on the submission platform and choose the submission type and submission requirements.
4. Reviewer: The platform will review the works, including the word count, writing style, plot, character shaping, etc. After the review, the works will enter the editor's field of vision.
Communication: The editor will communicate with the author to understand the author's thoughts and suggestions to help the author improve the work.
6. Contract signing: If the work passes the review, the editor will communicate with the author about the contract signing and sell the copyright of the work to the platform or the publishing house.
7. Release: If the work is selected, it will be published as a paper or e-book. The author will receive royalties and copyright income.
It was important to note that submitting a novel required patience and perseverance. The author had to constantly work hard to improve the quality of the work during the review period. At the same time, the specific requirements and processes of the submission platform and the publishing house may be different. You need to read the submission guide carefully and follow the requirements.
