The publication of books is a useful, necessary and even profitable business if one finds a “common language” with the tastes of readers. Many young authors are now puzzled by the question - how to publish your book in Moscow? To begin with, of course, you need to write it, and then ask yourself the search for a publisher willing to publish your literary work and bring it to a mass audience.
You will need
- - composition;
- - approval of the editor;
- - agreement on cooperation.
Instruction manual
1
Experienced writers advise against contacting Moscow publishers until you have the full text. Most metropolitan publishers, such as EKSMO, consider the full version of the book, rather than snippets, while others evaluate part of the text for readability and syllable, and then they still ask to send the full work.
2
After writing the book, call the publishers of Moscow. Their impressive list and contact numbers are available on the website http://www.izdatcenter.ru/izdatelstva.html (addresses, phone numbers and topics that they specialize in are given there). The secretary who received your call will ask what genre you are working in and dictate the editor’s email inbox of the appropriate series.
3
Send your text (with a synopsis - a short plot of the work), data and a short story about yourself (where it was printed, what genres you work in) to the specified email address, and wait for the review. She usually comes quickly. As a rule, the verdict will be announced there - your literary creation is suitable for publication or not. But, again, the first review is just the right to hope. The final editor will make the final decision. If he gives the green light, then you will be invited to the office of the publisher to sign the contract.
4
At the editor’s reception, carefully read the terms of the contract, the royalties offered, the percentage of sales, circulation (usually the first circulation is made small, so to speak, “for trial”) and other commercial details. After all, your book is your work. So try to sell it more expensive. But if you are still a failed author, without a name or reputation, it’s better not to persist too much, otherwise the publisher may refuse to cooperate with you or offer to release the book completely at your expense. And not every writer (even with a name) can afford such a pleasure. However, if you have the necessary funds, then the publishers of Moscow (and only it) will gladly meet you.
5
They refuse to publish in the case of full copyright financing only when calls for national enmity, separatism, anti-state politics, etc. are revealed in the work. And even so, many authors of such works still manage to successfully go out into mass circulation.
note
Editors evaluate literary work not only by plot, but also by the author’s basic literacy.
Useful advice
When choosing a Moscow publishing house, take an interest in its reputation in the book market, availability of a publishing license, specialization, awards, etc. - it will never hurt to check the reliability of your partner.
