THE MANUSCRIPT

A. Looking for a Manuscript

The publisher's main job is to produce a book that is approximately sold. Generated from text books. Manuscripts are original works that have not been reproduced. The form may be handwritten or typed manually or stored in a computer file. The content must meet the standards of scientific, good vision, systematic, grammar and style as well as the number of pages. The manuscript is worthy of scientific manuscripts published not just any, but a script about when it is printed into a reading book sold. It could be sold for a famous author, it was interesting and up to date, the price is right, cover design and attractive contents, promotion and distribution is quite broad and vigorous.

Manuscript sometimes come alone brought by authors to the editorial desk. Publishers can not just depend and are just waiting for the script to come. If you just wait, then the course of production is uncertain. It's certainly not good for the company. Even if there is a script that comes perhaps too little to do the screening which is best if issued, especially if the text that goes all under decent standard of issue. Finally taking steps chancy. Originally published who knows later sold on the market. All so uncertain. Though a lot of money at stake here.

Therefore, to avoid the uncertain conditions that publishers should move on to pick up the ball, looking directly into the field. Visiting authors both famous and non famous to find manuscripts that approximately booming or at least marketable. We go to the college campuses, government agencies and private institutions, social organizations, political party offices, handicraft centers and so on. Open the phone books and find a list of names, addresses and phone numbers.  Contact them and make a proposal for cooperation with them. Of the many addresses can be ensured we will find many entirely new script or to be reprinted or manuscript translation of foreign books. With so many manuscripts, we can classify them as above standard, standard or substandard. For the manuscripts above standard and standard we can direct the process. Average script below the standard we need to do repairs, joint author of course, here and there to suit our publishing standards. Authors were usually happy to receive proposals and suggestions for the common good

B.  The Manuscripts Qualifies

Not all incoming texts published. Of the 100 incoming text could be worth publishing just 5 texts. Therefore, it is necessary to think about the correct procedures slush and manuscripts are accepted. There needs to be agreement on the standards publishing a manuscript. Do not let us waste time, effort and money in vain for manuscripts that are not worthy of issue.

The reason why a rejected manuscript for example because:

1. The number of pages is too little or too much, so it is less weighty contents.

2. The content is far from up to date.

3. The style is less attractive or not in accordance with the theme.

4. Writing technique is less clear meaning, headache who read it.

5. Grammar is not in accordance with standard grammar.

6. There is no consistency in the use of the term, spelling, use of capital letters, and so on.

7. Its content is not in accordance with the mission and its specialization.

8. The contents in violation of decency and legality.

When deficiencies only issue no. 4 and no. 6, then it becomes the responsibility of the editor that the manuscript in question grammar in accordance with standard grammar and maintained their consistency from beginning to end. For this purpose, editors can use a large reference dictionary, Dictionary of Terms,  grammar books and other transliteration. Whatever guidelines used, consistency must be maintained from the beginning to the end.

In order not to waste of time and cost of the manuscript roughly do not meet company standards and could not be repaired, unless the total surgery, then the text is not necessary observation of the market and ask the opinion of experts. The text was immediately returned to the author with the wise way and give positive suggestions to keep them at a later time to write again with reference to the criteria of our company.
