How to Publish a Book is Easy

How to Publish a Book is Easy -- Many will be curious or even sneer reading this title. I do not lie. Publishes books in the era of information and communication technology this is not as difficult as ten or 20 years ago. First, the author of books such as special classes royalty. He exclusive and special. Not anymore. Anyone can publish a book. Anyone? Yes anyone can write. Let's peel a few things.

The book was simple

I would like to book a simple definition. The book is a collection of writings. In physical form, the book is a collection of papers bound and information contained therein or set of ideas. If you are a student, then a story in the daily kos and on campus could be a book. When writing the story, you can imagine readers high school student going to college. Simple information on tips for boarding and location of cheap and tasty food stalls around campus could be a book. If you're a politician, you journey to reach position could be a book. If you're nobody, then vent your confusion about the various issues that you do not understand could be a book.

Book does not have a thick and creepy. Book also does not have to be a continuous story from beginning to end, and one theme. Book could have been a random collection of posts about your observations on a variety of topics or situations. If you have only 10 posts about the simplest everyday things, you can make a book. Remember, the book does not have to contain the things that change the world. The book is simple.
ISBN

To be recognized as legitimate work, the book must have an ISBN, stands for International Standard Book Number. ISBN is a 13 digit number that you can see on the back page of the book under barcode. How to get the ISBN? If your book will be published by a professional publisher (see further discussion below), do not worry. Those who will take care of it to its conclusion. If you want to publish their own (see further discussion below) then you need to acquire on your own ISBN. ISBN provided by the Library of the Republic of Indonesia and the registration can be online. Please follow the instructions provided on the website. In essence, this ISBN is a unique identity of your book. The title of the book could have been the same but the ISBN is unique. This is what distinguishes the book with other books.

What if the book does not contain the ISBN? That's okay too, but she is not listed as a legitimate work of the book. Sometimes ISBN is a requirement of recognition of a work. For example, if you are a teacher then work your book is recognized if its ISBN.

Publisher and Printer

Imagine you are holding a book. The book would be printed by the printing press. Now there are a lot of printing in Indonesia. You could ask one of them to print your book as you wish. If you have a script file, for example, you may love it to the printer file and they will complete the layout and then print. Sure there's the cost for all processes. Is the printer it is the publisher? Not necessarily. For example, you have a script book and I got a book making machine. I can only impress your book but I am not a publisher if I do not have permission. Publisher is an institution that is legally entitled to publish and distribute the book. Publishers are more related to legal and administrative processes while the printer associated with the physical process of making tangible book your work can be seen and held. Of course publishers can also act as a printer and generally rightly so.

If you already have a script, you can send it to a publisher, such as Scholastic, Elex Media Computindo, Grasindo, Landscape Library, Galang Press, Round Pen, Pandu script and many more. They will assess your work. If feasible published so do not worry about printing and ISBN. They are going to handle. In this case, your book is published by a professional publisher. Of course the process is not lagsung because there will be a manuscript review process whether published or not feasible.

I've published a book which is a student organization projects abroad. The organization acted as the publisher and I need to find a printer only. I contact a printing company in Jogja and gave the manuscript. Within a few days, the manuscript has been printed. Of course, in this case, we must apply its own ISBN and ISBN number that I give to the printer to be printed on the cover of the book. In this example, the publisher and the printer apart.

Alternative Publish

You might imagine, the book should be published by reputable publishers as I wrote above. You would imagine, would be difficult because many rivals and publishers surely it would have been flooded with texts of various places so they must select closely. You would imagine, publishing a book is a process of competition, right? Thus it is true but you can publish a book through the publisher alternative. One that I know is NulisBuku.com. Bottom line, if you have to write about, please be constructed that matches the format (template) in NulisBuku.com and submit to them. This text SURE published, any shape and quality. Interestingly, you do not have to pay and the ISBN was assisted management is. It's that easy? Yes, as easy as that. Price book can also set yourself and how you want to earn profits. This book was sold with the system 'print on demand' or printing by order. This is what makes this simple issue. They will print the book only if there is a buyer. Your book was promoted and sold in online stores NulisBuku.com. Want to know more? Please visit his website. Providers of similar services is DapurBuku, NerbitkanBuku, etc.. (This information is not meant ecommendations)

Another alternative is self-published. Anyone can have a publisher and is not really difficult. Please see how registering your publisher in the National Library so easy to obtain ISBN and subsequent others. If you've never written a book at all and have not been convinced by the quality of your writing, I suggest you publish a book through NulisBuku.com. Easy, cheap (you only need to buy a copy of the book itself) and certainly rise.

There is a friend, have a child who loves to write. His writing is good but may be less popular by regular publishers that do not want published. Eventually she signed up online and print ISBN son's manuscript in limited quantities. Now there are many printers who want to do it because of the printing process is not as difficult as it is now used. Now we can even use a regular printer to create a book that does not need big expensive machines. Thus, my friend managed to publish his book. Of course all bear their own costs and not too expensive. A copy of the 100 page book can be under 50 thousand. Of course so valuable prizes and pride for the child. So what are you waiting?

Book Distribution

If your book is published by a publisher, do not worry. Book distribution is handled by them. You do not need to sell books. Even so, you can certainly help publishers sell books to promote through your own network you have. With the power of social media saaat, promotion becomes easier. You certainly understand the point if you are a Facebook or Twitter user.

If you publish the book himself, how distribution? You should tangangi itself, for example cooperation with the bookstore or selling agents in various cities. Cooperation may vary. Another alternative is the book you sell yourself on the path to promotion / community itself. If you have a lot of friends on FB and Twitter, it will be easier. Create simple. Books can be ordered via email and you send the book after receiving proof of payment from the buyer. Easy right?
Posted Blog

It's a lot to do today. If you only write one post every week then you've got 52 titles a year writing. If you are consistent enough to make a post with a particular theme then it can become a whole book. For example, you are a new student Geodesy and writing your understanding of the world of Geodesy with simple language. In one year, you can create a book with the title "Geodesy for the laity" the contents of which about 52 light posts Geodesy. Imagine the benefits to high school students. How to publish it? Of course you can choose some ways that I mentioned earlier.

If you've recorded, whether blogs should be closed? If you publish the book itself (eg through NulisBuku.com) of course it's up to you. But if the official publisher of his book was published, of course there persetujuanya. It may be that publishers ask you to close or disable blog writings have been included for the sake of business. My book entitled "studied to State Kangaroo" is a collection of writings on a blog and publisher do not ask me to close the blog. It was published without my even met with the publisher and I are not in Indonesia. all communication via email. Easy and practical.

Book Royalties

    If your book is published by the official publisher, you will be rewarded as a writer by the name of royalty. The amount of royalties can range between 10-15 percent of the total price of the book and paid periodically in accordance with the number of books sold in a particular period. If you publish the book yourself then the royalties and profits you can set yourself. Clearly, the author of the book beginners should not be motivated by financial gain because you may be disappointed. Try reading my thoughts about this royalty.
    Write keroyokan

    Write hundreds of pages thick book certainly is not easy. Not everyone can write a long right? What if you could just write a short article? Do not worry, it could write together alias mob anyway. Imagine, if you are a student or employee of the office, you certainly have a lot of friends. Think of a great theme and you ask your friend to write one article alone. For example you want to write a book about the experience of working with the likes grief thesis then you could ask 30 friends to write one article each of the five pages and you've got a 150 page manuscript. Sure, deh, the manuscript can be completed within one week. Cook the week can not write five pages? I've already completed the thesis :)

In conclusion, publishing a book is easy. Now you know. Yet writing good books and readers like it was something else and certainly not easy. I want to say is that anything can be recorded if you can write it down. No matter the quality, it must be published book because publishers are now many different alternative approach to the usual publishers. Regular publisher would strongly consider the economic aspects. A script can be good and important but will not be published because not much demand. Now, such a thing should not happen again. Whatever could be published!

Have you ever imagined a month from now you've got a book called "Status Facebookku from 2010 to 2013" or "Kicauanku on Twitter in Half Decade" or the "Tips Strategies Completing Thesis" or "Inspirational Story facing Lecturer Killer"? Why not, publishing a book is easy really. You can! Yes, you are smiling :)
