How to Become a Publisher of Books in India
From writing a book to publishing, different people with different qualifications are engaged in this work. A book is the product of a team effort. The people associated with the book are as follows.
Author or Writer: An author needs to have a clear idea of what to write about. Depending on the ability and imagination of the writer, he can also be the author of stories, poems, novels, or subjects such as science, art, sports, etc. The essay is written or typed by hand or prepared with the help of a computer and sent to the publisher and the editor.
Editor and Publisher: The publisher usually looks after the book business aspect. The publisher appointed the editor to determine the quality of the manuscript. The book is taken up for publication if the editor likes it. The editor is usually fluent in spelling, grammar, etc. and he takes a look at the manuscript accordingly. In the case of large books such as encyclopedias, the publisher himself decides the subject and appoints the editor accordingly. The editors select the authors according to the plan.
Designer, Book publisher: A designer decides how large the manuscript will be printed, in what way it will be printed, whether or not the images will remain, if any, what the images will be like, where they will be, and how to be drawn. After the original is composed (after typing on the computer) if there is a mistake in it, it is corrected. Letters, pictures, etc. are sent for printing after they are arranged properly. The printed leaves are properly folded, tied, cut with cutting them with cutting machines, and finally applied cover to form a book. Before the book is printed, the initial work for sale begins. Advertisements are given in newspapers and magazines. Sales representatives send the book to various bookstores and customers buy the book at a reasonable price. Publishers, booksellers and authors get a share of the selling price of each copy.
However, the process of publishing a book varies from publisher to publisher. In the case of Assamese books, editors, designers, etc. generally play the role. The books were written manually until the invention of the printing press. Writing and kneading books took a section of people alone. That turned out to be a profession. Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press in Germany brought about an unprecedented change in the history of books. Between 1450 and 1455, the first printed book was published. The Bible is the first printed book. By the mid-1500s, 30,000 books were printed. In 1460, Gutenberg published a Latin dictionary called ‘Cathalican’. Italy was the country after Germany to set up the printing press industry. The Italian city of Florence became very famous when it came to publishing books. It was there that the first wooden blocks and printing pictures on the books began.
Since the introduction of the printing press, the preparation of books has become abundant and books have also become affordable. Now books are prepared with state-of-the-art technology. Many would say that the book or book publishing industry is also like a switch. Just as electricity can be distributed to various places with the flick of a switch, the publication of books can significantly contribute to a nation’s economic, social, and political development. Yet the work of publishing books remains an unknown task for all of us. No meritorious or ordinary student seems to be interested in choosing book publishing as a career. Rarely does this happen sometimes. Recently the book publishing industry has taken the form of a major industry all over the world. Recently the book also has its own identity. The current book has entered the homes of all sections of people. The current competition and the development of information technology have also changed a lot in the field of book publishing. The news of the publication of the book has also managed to grab the front page of the newspaper.
Renowned book publisher Narendra Kumar believes that a publisher must possess creative talent and that those working with him should also demonstrate a strong dedication to their work. Dedication is a must for any publishing company. There is also a person who oversees the entire work and knows exactly what kind of books are needed and demanded in the market.
