Question 2: Can books contributed by Douban be published? Yes, as long as the copyright is yours.
Question 3: Should the book be handed over to the publishing house or to Douban for reading? If you vote for reading Internet cafes, you will only vote for publishing houses if you are very popular.
Question 4: How long does it usually take for Douban to read and edit the manuscript? Personally, I think the review speed of Douban is too slow, so I should find more full-time editors and * * * editors. Of course, it is a bit troublesome to set up a good review mechanism for editors, and there is no time to review works.
Question 5: I want to go to Douban to read and contribute. Do you think it will be popular if forced? You can pay attention to the submission of the official WeChat account on the "Photographic Literature Submission Network", and the official WeChat account can still make money through serialization. I contributed 1 article on the official account of wechat, and the reading volume in three days was 500 1 yuan. I can also take photos with my mobile phone and post my mood essays. Then I simply forwarded it casually, and the reading volume was over 10,000. I have personally experienced contributing to the "Photographic Literature Submission Network" in the official account of WeChat!
Question 6: How to publish articles on Douban Reading app instead of writing articles? Write an article in Douban Diary. You can write a book review, for example, if you want to write a book review for a dream of red mansions, you can read it in a dream of red mansions and then you can write a book review.
Question 7: Is the reading and posting threshold of Douban high? The level is high and there are many young artists in Douban. What you write should have connotation, not just the pursuit of gorgeous words. As for magazines, it depends on the auditing standards of different publications.
Question 8: Who is familiar with Douban? I wanted to apply for author certification on Douban, but the editor failed, saying that the article was not suitable for Douban reading. Of course, it's easier to keep a diary in groups ~!
Douniang walked in the literary style a few years ago, and then a little fresh wind blew. And now? It's special to be crazy alone ~!

Question 10: How to contribute to the publishing house? In this article, I will introduce the basic steps and precautions of the author's submission to the publishing house. These methods can help authors improve the pass rate of submission.
First, formulate publishing strategy.
Although the slogan of the publishing industry is "social benefits first, combining social benefits with economic benefits", you can probably feel that "social benefits" are just empty talk just by visiting bookstores. Before, the publishing houses in our country were all institutions, mainly supported by financial allocations; Now almost all of them have been restructured into enterprises, and they need to be responsible for their own profits and losses. Each editing room (some project teams) and editors bear certain quantitative indicators, such as the number of words, the amount of code (that is, pricing multiplied by sales) and profit. If you can't edit these indicators, you won't get the year-end bonus. Private booksellers who have been groping in the market will also carefully consider the cost and income of each book. Therefore, when an editor receives a contribution, he almost always asks, "How much will this book make me?"
In other words, if the author wants to publish his works, he needs to consider how many copies the book can sell and how much the editor can earn.
Generally speaking, only when the sales volume of a book reaches about 3,000 copies can a publishing house break even; If it reaches 8000~ 10000 copies, editing and distribution will make money. Of course, for the sake of scale or reputation, publishers sometimes publish books at a loss, but in general, there is great pressure on profit. If your book was originally written for a minority, or the editor predicts that your book sales are limited, you may need to pay a little "publishing subsidy", usually in the form of giving a sum of money to the publishing house and the publishing house giving you a bunch of books; The rest of the books were put on the market. Or you can choose "author underwriting" and buy all the printed books yourself; This publishing house is no longer open to the public.
Therefore, you need to think clearly before submitting the manuscript: how much time and money are you willing to pay at most for the publication of this book? Many publishing houses require a publishing subsidy of around 20,000 yuan, ranging from 50,000 yuan. There are some half-dead local publishing houses, which may cost only a few thousand dollars.
If you don't want to pay, you should think about how to package yourself as a potential author and how to make your schoolbag look like it can sell well. I listed some methods:
-Introduce your professional status. Although you have never written a book before and are a new author, you have accumulated rich experience in your own industry and are an authority or expert in a certain field.
-Move out your title. Titles in units, related organizations and associations can come in handy. Of course, it must be a title related to this book. I once accepted a financial monograph. In the introduction, the author said that he is a director of the UFO enthusiasts association. Of course, this title is useless and even counterproductive for promoting his book.
-Explore your own sales channels. Can you sell books through your own relationship? Is it possible to sell books through trade associations? Is it possible to sell books through lectures, lectures, salons and workshops? Is it possible to bundle your book with other products? Is it possible to find a company to give you your book as a gift?
-compare similar books. If your book happens to be the best-selling theme in the market, or you are comparable to the best-selling author, you might as well bring it in.
-Write a letter of recommendation from a celebrity. Do you have any friends who are university professors, corporate executives and celebrities? Ask them to help recommend some.
Providing the above information to the editor when submitting a manuscript can greatly improve the probability of passing the topic.
Some authors may think, since the ISBN can also be bought and the sales channels can be found by themselves, what else can the publishing house participate in? Go all out and publish at your own expense. In fact, it is not impossible to publish at one's own expense, but the supervision of the publishing industry is very strict, and it will be very troublesome to do it yourself. Almost every link from editing to distribution has access conditions and qualification requirements. Especially in the distribution link, if you don't have the qualification of book wholesale, your book can't even be Dangdang and excellent, let alone enter Xinhua Bookstore. So even if you buy a book number and print it yourself, as long as you want readers to buy your book, you still have to find a general distributor. Searching for "book publishing companies" on the Internet can find many private enterprises doing this kind of business.
Second, choose a publishing house.
After deciding whether you are willing to pay for this book and how much to pay at most, the next step is to choose the most suitable publishing house for your book. Books published simply for publication, such as books with professional titles, go to a half-dead publishing house and give some money. From this section, I will only talk about the works that unite the author's painstaking efforts, want to gain some social influence and collide with some sparks of thought.
The ultimate quality of a book and its possible social impact are not just ... >; & gt
