PUBLISHER
Printed works such as books, newspapers, and magazines, as well as e-books,
academic journals, micropublishing, websites, and blogs, are all examples of
publishing. It is the process of selling or giving away information, literature,
music, software, and other forms of material to the general public.
A publishing firm, imprint, periodical, or newspaper can be referred to as a
"publisher," as can an individual who runs a publishing company, imprint, or
newspaper.
“There’s a lot more to publishing a book than writing it and slapping a cover on
it.”
