Publishers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

*Traditional \u2014 the Publisher takes on the financial responsibility of publishing the book and receives most of the proceeds. The author receives a royalty
and discounts on the purchase of his\/her book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Subsidy \u2014 the Publisher and the Author share the financial responsibility for the project and the rewards\u2026in varying proportions depending on the
business model of the publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Self\/Publisher ISBN \u2014 the Author is responsible for all the costs and pays the Publisher for services. The Author then receives the largest share of the
proceeds, and the Publisher receives a fee for each book ordered. The individual contract with the publisher will determine how much. Some publishers own the ISBN, and the self-published author is considered an \u201cimprint.\u201d Some self-published authors prefer to own their own ISBN and do the registration themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
