∙ 11y agoIf you want to sell a book, you would normally hire an agent. The agent hires an editor who reads through the book to make sure its legible etc. From here, the agent and sometimes author start getting in touch with publishing houses/companies.
The role of the publishing company is to release the book, and sell it on; making you more money than you would if you were to sell it on by yourself. This is because they reach a wider audience.
The bad thing about publishing your book with a publishing house/company is that they will take in some of the profits you make as part of their pay towards them publishing your book. However, depending on how successful your book is, you can still make quite a lot.
