Set a tentative budget. Decide how much can be spent on publishing the book. Consider financial resources as well as production, promotion and marketing. The budget should be flexible at this point; be prepared to revise if needed.
Get estimates. Talk to a printer early in the process. A printer will be able to estimate the cost of producing a book. Factors for the estimate include the number of pages, number of ink colors, paper stock, bindery, overall trim size and quantity. Adjust the book design to fit into a budget. Choose between traditional offset printing on a press for large quantities or digital on-demand printing for smaller, more expensive quantities.
Determine the market. Some artists and authors print only enough copies of the book for personal or portfolio use; others plan for the mass market. Remember that the rule of printing says the higher the print quantity, the lower the unit cost. Adjust accordingly.
Consider an International Standard Book Number (ISBN). A book does not require an ISBN. However for sales in retail stores, an ISBN might be needed. If the book is to be pitched to a comic book publisher, the ISBN number might not be advisable, as the publishing house will use its own.
Register a copyright. If registered, include the copyright information in the book.
Create the book's physical layout. If the author or artist is not a graphic designer, a printer or freelancer should be able to complete the layout.
Submit the book it to the printer. The printer should have a proof for viewing in a few days; then the job goes to the press. Once completed, the book is ready for marketing and sales.
