How does this work? How long does it take to publish a book?

The deadline for publishing a book is 60 to 90 days, but this period can be extended indefinitely. Part of the process of producing a book goes through the author’s sieve, and this process depends exclusively on your response time.

How do I get my Manuscript Copyrighted?

The author’s responsibility is to use a copyright notice, but the law grants you copyright protection instantaneously upon the creation of your manuscript/work.
Consequently, one will need to put the name of the owner of the copyright, the year it was published first, and the word “copyright” and/or symbol somewhere within the document to secure copyright protection. It doesn’t really involve advanced permission from the US Copyright Office.

What are the minimum and maximum number of pages that the original should have?

Can you explain what an ISBN number is?

The ISBN is a ten-digit number that uniquely identifies a publication worldwide. You can purchase an ISBN number from R.R. Bowker, the US agency licensed to sell these numbers. The cost is $205 for ten ISBN numbers. ISBN numbers are printed on the copyright page as well as above the bar code on softback books. If one is publishing both a hard and a softcover version of a document, both versions will need an ISBN. Click here for the ISBN website.

Am I Supposed to include a barcode in my Book?

The ISBN number is typically converted into a compatible bar code format. This is labeled Bookland EAN (European Article Number).
Every bookstore uses bar codes for scanning at registers, so it is advantageous for a publisher to place a bar code on the back cover. Multiple software programs are available that will produce bar code. Then it can be placed in the correct location on your back cover. The bar code must be printed in black ink.

I want to sell my books in Libraries. What should I do?

Should I have a Copyright page?

A Copyright page is generally found on the back of the title page of a book. Normally, such a page includes the word “copyrighted, or copyright” and/or contains the copyright symbol.
