The supplied process diagram illustrates the information on the different stages involved in the book publishing process.
Overall, it is evident that the book publishing process is a linear process that takes roughly 18 to 24 months, consisting of eight steps.
It is conspicuous that the first and foremost step is writing, in which authors write the books, and then they are delivered to the publishing houses, where editors carefully review them. Moreover, before designing the layout, a contract is made with the publishing house after successful review by the editors.
Furthermore, after analysing the layout, a final decision is made on the design of the layout. After finalizing the layout, it is further processed for printing according to the needs. Subsequently, all the printed papers are bound, and they are supplied to the distribution houses. At the end, it takes almost 18 to 24 months from writing to distribution.
