As a writer interested in book publishing, I was encouraged to find a Christian publishing company; csnbooks. I went to their website, csnbooks.com and found an immense wealth of knowledge especially in their book 'Before You Publish'. In the free online book and via a phone conversation with helpful staff, I was provided with information for books, copyright, cover design, distribution (such as Amazon), editing, gost writing, ISBN, marketing, POD, printing, print on Demand, relationships with printers, proofing, differences in publishing, self publishing and subsidy publishing, transcribing and writing.
