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 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have been published, and (3) for copyright purposes, where there is a difference in the protection of published and unpublished works.

A printing press in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Can anyone recommend any reputable publishers for genres in fiction/adventure?
Q. I'm a young writer, mainly writing fiction, adventure, some science fiction, and I would like to know which publishers to give some consideration to. I don't have a lot of money to burn, though, so nothing too expensive. Or could you tell me if there are any I should avoid? Thanks for your time.

A. That is a very broad question to answer. It is like asking what stores are good for buying shoes. There are just so many. 150 thousand books get published every year in America and that does not count self publishing. That is a lot of publishers and books for you to wade through. You need to get yourself a copy of Writers Market and resist the urge to go right to the listings and actually READ the book. Then look at the listings. Of course, you cannot approach the Top 10 without an agent. They are just loaded and do not accept unsolicited queries. They end up in the slush room awaiting form rejection. Look for smaller publishers. Find some that are reading in your genre. But that is only where your research begins. Check them out -… [cont.]

A. Of course. The best part about publishers now is that you practically do everything online and over the phone while you coordinate with your production team. Publishing companies now have all the resources to publish books with the same productivity and efficacy as that of regular black and white books. Considering the fact that most books are in full color, you should choose a publishing company whose book s are of the highest quality, bar none. In the meantime, I'll give you something to peruse while you are at it. Let me know if you have questions. :)
