How Are Books Typically Published?

In traditional publishing, the publisher handles the marketing, distribution, and warehousing for your book. There is no expense to the author; mainstream publishers make a profit from the book's sales. However, typically the author gets a much smaller percentage of royalty. Also, assuming your book is accepted by the publisher (the majority of submissions are rejected), it can take much longer to get published this way.

With self-publishing, depending on which type of publisher or platform you choose, the majority of the work is on the author, who pays for all expenses. The main advantages of self-publishing are that you control when the book is published (so can get published much quicker), you retain all rights to your book, and you receive 100 percent of the profits.

A vanity publisher is a publishing house that authors pay to have their books published. Vanity publishers typically offer more freedom to the authors than traditional, commercial publishers. However, they typically charge authors for services such as editing, cover design, formatting, and marketing. Most vanity presses do not vet submissions, and will publish nearly any manuscript because their primary revenue comes from fees rather than book sales.
