When writing a book, an author should understand the different types of publishing houses available. The following briefly describes the major types of publishers.
– Educational publishers publish materials such as textbooks for consumption by students at various levels.
– Scholarly publishers, including university presses, print works of research findings and scholarship.
– Trade publishers produce books that are marketed to the general public. This type of publisher prints paperback and hardback books on various topics and the most bestsellers.
– Small presses include independent and regional publishers, the latter of which publishes books on local and regional topics only.
– Contract and vanity publishers work with individuals seeking self-promotion. Historical books about a company and biographies are examples of works that such publishers would print.
– Electronic book publishing caters to business-related publications and small printers that have an interest in promoting books with a large publisher’s network. These books are typically the most cost-efficient to produce.
