When your manuscript is ready, all you have to do is publish the book and choose the publisher you need.
There are quite a few ways to choose a publisher: acquaintances, a global network, a reference book, etc. You can pick up several suitable publishers at once and choose from them the most acceptable in terms of cost and production conditions for the book.
Until you become a well-known author, you should be prepared to pay for all or only part of the publishing of the book. Subsequently, gaining more and more fame, and increasing the value of your work, you can safely revise the conditions for publishing your books.
If you can prepare your manuscript for printing by yourself - proofread mistakes, typeset, arrange the title page and cover, then do it yourself. You can then submit your layout directly to the print shop. This will help you save a significant amount of money, but it does not guarantee that the book, when published, will have the required presentation.
The cost of publishing your manuscript depends on several parameters: volume, circulation, binding, paper quality, amount of ink used, preparation for printing photographs, graphs and tables.
An international standard number - ISBN is assigned for each publication, and an international standard number for a periodical ISSN.
ISBN is usually obtained from the Russian Book Chamber. Each number will cost you a certain amount of money. In addition, more documents are submitted to the chamber that confirm the right to publish.
ISSN is issued by many Russian organizations, including the Book Chamber, offering to assign this number also for a certain amount of money. However, the ISSN is completely free of charge. You just need to send a letter to the ISSN Agency in Paris with a request (in English or French) to assign this number, as well as a detailed description of your periodicals and cover.
True, you can publish a book or periodical without assigning these numbers, but if you want to officially distribute your publications, these numbers are a prerequisite.
Brochures or brochures that are required for "internal distribution" do not need to be numbered.
The publication of a book, as a rule, takes from three to six months, under normal conditions the work on the manuscript, if the book does not need to be edited, then the publication will take from one to two months.
