Guide to Book Publishers Key Terms

Resources for common terminology in book publishing

By J. Stoltzfus, writer/programmer, LOCAL CITIZEN


For anyone within the book publishing industry, words are important in a number of ways. Of course, the primary product of the industry is just that, words. And the tools at the disposal of various agents, writers and publishers are more words. Some of the more obscure contractual terms can be confusing, so it's a great resource for authors and others who may be on the fringe of the industry to have online glossaries to help pin down any words that may seem cryptic.

People looking to get more knowledge of book publishers terms are often authors or writers wondering how a contract works. Anyone can get hold of these lists of book publishers key terms from online educational sites that provide a window into how business gets done in the world of a book publishing company. Sites produce online glossaries:

1. For terms from a writer's perspective to help clarify what kinds of reprint rights and other valuables are being bought and sold.

2. Lists of terms illustrating how each person contributes to a book publishing company process.

3. Technical terms business book publishers or other book press companies might use that may sound foreign to others outside the industry.

Learn publication rights terms for dealing with a book publishing company

What's First Serial Rights? Or First North American Rights? What about reprints? Web use? These questions come up all the time in the book publisher industry. A lot of the answers are available online from a variety of providers.

For some of the terms that writers would generally use, or for clarifying the relationship between writers and agents, look for some specialized glossaries and information pages from the perspective of a writer.

I recommend: The PoeWar writer's glossary provides a lot of terms on clarifying job titles, different careers within the writing industry. The helpful page at LauraWrites outlines book publishers key terms from a writer's point of view.

Other commercial book publishers have posted their own lists to get the public educated about the lingo of doing business for printing books. These are great resources, as they represent some of the most challenging jargon a company might use in contracts to publish books and other communications.

Guide to Book Publishing

Branch out your business through book publishing.

By Nikki Wheeler


Sharing your expertise and experience in the form of a nonfiction book can increase your business. If you have a business, you are a credible source enough to be an authoritative figure on the topic of the book. There is always a market for good how-to guides.

The choice to publish a book is a big one. The process can take more then a year and investment can be considerable, but if you persist, it can be successful and ultimately the best thing for your business.

When considering publishing a book you must:
1. Think about the subject matter, and make sure the information is extensive enough to publish a book.
2. Consider the commitment that you need for such a long-term project.
3. Be willing to take a risk.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Hire a ghostwriter

Although you may be an expert in the subject of the book, you are probably not a good writer. Hire a ghostwriter to actually write the book for you.

I recommend: Hire a ghostwriter from SEO, HireaGhostwriter.com, or Writers for Hire.

Look for a literary agent

A literary agent can represent you and present your work to book publishing companies. They often help with everything from the selling of the book to the business negotiations. It can be challenging to get a literary agent interested in your project.

I recommend: Browse the Literary Agents Directory, or the directory at Author-Network.com.

Hire a publicist

A publicist generates and maintains interest in your book. The writer can perform this task when finances are tight. The buzz surrounding your book can help it sell, and as a result, bring you more business.

I recommend: Hire a publicist through iUniverse, or get publicity for your book through Author Marketing Experts.

Get a publishing house interested

A publishing house takes care of everything from the writing, publishing and printing to the pricing, packaging and marketing. A publishing house pays you in advance on book sales, so this is the fastest way to see return on your investments. It is challenging to get a book publisher interested in your ideas.

I recommend: Search a database of publishers according to book genre at SearchforPublishers.com. Ithaca Press and Dog Ear Publishing are both book publishing companies that accept new manuscripts of any genre.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • •  Consider self-publishing if you cannot get a major book publisher interested.
  • •  Publish an eBook if a regular book is not for you, or if much of your business is online.
  • •  Market the book online, where it can reach masses for a very low price.

Guide to Book Publishers Education and Training

Learn how to become a book publisher

By Laurie Edwards


Anyone interested in opening a book publishing company needs to consider how to get their book publishers education and training. Although some book publishers take a more formal path and begin by getting a college education, many enter the field by a different route. With the advent of the Internet and desktop publishing, anyone can become an online book publisher.

Narrow your field by selecting a niche. For example, a small, specialty book press can specialize as a business book publisher; business book publishers can focus on anything from marketing to finance. If you publish fiction, select aomotive insurance in Virginia. This agency will serve as a central location for many resources on auto insurance.
  • Determine the auto insurance requirements for Virginia. Many drivers will choose to obtain only the minimum insurance that Virginia requires, especially if their car loan has been paid off.
  • Get a quote for auto insurance. There are a large number of auto insurance agencies in Virginia and multiple quotes will help establish a likely range for a given coverage.
  • likely range for a given coverage.

    The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


    Consider low-residency college programs to prepare yourself for book publishing

    Many traditional book publishing companies expect their employees to have an English or literature degree. If you want to work for a book publishing company, but your degree is not in English or literature, find an entry-level job or an internship while you earn a new degree. Some colleges offer low-residency degrees, which allow you to stay employed as you learn.

    I recommend: Spalding University in Kentucky and Hamline University in Minnesota are two of the most well-known, low-residency MFA programs for English. Vermont College offers an excellent MFA program for those interested in publishing for children.

    Increase your editing knowledge through correspondence courses

    Rather than getting an English degree, you may want to hone your editing and writing skills through a correspondence course. Look for courses that provide feedback from instructors who will answer questions. Most correspondence courses take approximately a year to complete.

    I recommend: The USDA Graduate Course in editing is thorough and will familiarize you with the basics. Editcetera offers a variety of editing courses, and they also have a mentoring program.

    Hone your book publishing skills with seminars

    If you don't have a lot of time to invest, look into seminars that teach you the ins-and-outs of how to publish a book. Some require your presence in the classroom, but others are taught online. Internet classes are ideal if have a busy schedule.

    I recommend: One of the most-respected publishing courses in the country is the six-week, intensive summer course taught at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. If you plan to publish books or enter the publishing field in any capacity, this course teaches you all the basics you need to know. Stanford Publishing Courses are offered in video format and are geared mainly to publishing books on the Internet.

    Tips & Tactics

    Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

    • •  Before you open your book publishing company, consider costs such as warehousing, remaindering, and returns. All of these can affect your profit. Many publishing companies have moved to POD (print on demand) to avoid these costs as well as to stay green.
