For any writer who wants to be an author, knowing how to publish a book is vital.  It's a situation that is common -- you have an idea for a book but you have no means of knowing how to translate that idea from your computer screen.

We're going to lead you and provide you the tools to select which publishing option fits your job best.  But you ought to know about conventional and self-publishing.
Now there are possibilities and more opportunities share, to write, and publish a story -- and interact with the audience.  Whether you would like to publish your book, or are after the traditional publishing experience, complete with an agent, editor, and publisher, it's entirely within your grasp.

Self-Publishing

A subsidy publisher is much like a vanity publisher in the writer must pay for the binding and printing procedure for the book.  However, this sort of publisher contributes some of the price to editing, distribution, warehousing, and marketing.  In cases like this, the books are owned by the writer until they are sold as well as money is made by the writer .
POD eliminates the need for space to store copies and cuts back on costs.  Typically advertising, proofreading, or editing is provided at an extra cost and you earn money.  To get a fixed amount of time, some can go Concerning rights but this varies depending on the publisher.
The process can be than vanity or subsidy publishing while this may be a massive time commitment.
Print-on-demand (POD) publishers take all submissions - anybody who's willing to pay is printed.  POD publishing utilizes printing technologies to create books one at a time by means of a business in a cost-effective price.  The books are published as orders.  For this reason, you can fix the supply of the book.
The maker binds a book on the dime of the author and prints and doesn't provide advertising, editing, or aid.  However, the writer owns the books that are printed and keeps all gain.

What's the difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing?

If seeing your work in print is to fulfill or you see yourself as a hobbyist, choose vanity publishing.
If you decide on an e-book, which is a book available on e-Readers and other devices and published in form, it may be downloaded instantly, has the ability and can never go out of print.  However, the formats and file types develop and change over time, many may have to be converted to a new file or format.
Self-publishing is also a good option when you've got a manuscript, as a publishing company may take up to 18 months to get your book from manuscript.
Printing in bulk through self-publishing might be your best bet if you have a visible platform established to reach your audience, both online and offline (such as a site, Twitter handle, and Facebook fan page), have credibility with your readers in your genre/category and are ready to devote your time to marketing and promoting your work.
In traditional publishing, the publisher manages the marketing, distribution, and warehousing for your publication.  Since there is no expense to the writer this is the system to book publishing --a profit is made by mainstream publishers from your book's sales.
Here are some facts to consider.  If you do not know how to find or reach your readers, don't have an internet presence, do not have enough time to spend online or dislike social media, want to maintain a brick-and-mortar sort of publication and have a publisher handle the marketing for you, the traditional publishing route could be the best option.
Whereas in self-publishing, depending on which kind of market or platform you choose, most the work falls on your shoulders and you cover all expenses.  The main advantages of self-publishing in India are you control when the book is published, you retain all rights to your book, and you receive 100 percent of the profits.
