The problem of publishing physical books
There were several steps to publishing a physical book: 1. Planning: The author needs to negotiate with the bookstore or editor to determine the topic, style, content, and other aspects of the book to formulate a publishing plan. 2. Writing: The author needs to complete the main body, table of contents, index, foreword, and afterword of the book and submit them to the editor for review. 3. Editor: The editor will review the book submitted by the author and correct the errors and defects to ensure that the quality of the book meets the publishing standards. 4. Proofreading: The editor will proofread the book to eliminate errors in spellings, grammar, and punctuations. 5. Typography: The editor would set the book's layout and determine the size, page number, layout format, and so on. Cover design: The editor designs the cover picture and title according to the theme, style, and content of the book. 7. Print: The book will be printed into a physical book and sent to the publishing house for typography and revision. 8. Release: The book will be distributed to various sales channels such as bookstores and online bookstores. The process of publishing a physical book required a lot of time and effort, and a certain publishing fee had to be paid. At the same time, the quality and reputation of the book were also important factors that affected the publishing effect.
