Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of literature or information – the activity of making information available for public view. In some cases authors may be their own publishers, meaning: originators and developers of content also provide media to deliver and display the content. Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books (the "book trade") and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources, such as the electronic versions of books and periodicals, as well as micropublishing, websites, blogs, video games and the like. Publishing includes: the stages of the development, acquisition, copyediting, graphic design, production – printing (and its electronic equivalents), and marketing and distribution of newspapers, magazines, books, literary works, musical works, software and other works dealing with information, including the electronic media. Publication is also important as a legal concept: (1) as the process of giving formal notice to the world of a significant intention, for example, to marry or enter bankruptcy; (2) as the essential precondition of being able to claim defamation; that is, the alleged libel must have been published, and (3) for copyright purposes, where there is a difference in the protection of published and unpublished works.

Q. I'm looking for stats and info on book production costs for larger publishing houses: I'm interested primarily in "trade publications" (meaning for the consumer), both fiction and non fiction, although other markets, like textbook production, might help as well. I'm also wondering what costs the big box stores attribute to a book sitting on the shelf. Any suggestions on where to look? Asked by talber6 - Mon Jan 22 17:37:03 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You might want to check the Bowker annual for actual statistics. That is a big question that really depends on where the book sits on their list. Someone like Stephen King would most likely get more marketing afunds than a lesser known, mid-list author. Some books have publicity budgets of $75,000 some only have $5000. For big books with huge advances, publishers will plunge hundreds of thou into marketing and advertising in order to attempt to ear back the advance which is extremely difficult to do for books with advances in the millions. The publishers pay Barnes& Noble etc big bucks to place books in high traffic areas. They call this coop and not every book will get it.
