- Publishers vary widely in their size, scope & purpose. They may huge international corporation, scholarly associations, government agencies, universities, museums, small companies or individuals. They may also publish scholarly or popular serials or books; they may publish the materials print, electronic or media formats.

- All publishers carry out some core functions regardless of the types of materials and the size of the companies involved. Publishers identify the materials that they want to publish; Edit the materials Organize their presentation Distribute & promote the product. And track the legal contracts, sales form and profit or losses. Add up: Once a publisher decides a book is going to be published, everything has to be coordinated so that books get out into the market when the company said they would. At a publisher, a managing editor keeps track of what everyone is doing. If you are self-publishing, you'll have to fill that role.
- Self- publishers have a less formal structure, but still perform the basic functions of creating, editing, designing, distributing, promoting and tracking their work. For most companies the 1st step is to find or may solicit materials directly to authors. They evaluate the proposals & manuscripts to determine weather they wish to publish the titles.
- All publishers negotiate the contract signed with their authors; includes payment who owns the copyright. After all agreement has met both author & publishers. Publishers track the sales & determine whether the items make a profit. Show a sample contract

Their main purpose may be publishing or the publishing process may be a minor part of their operation. They may rely on a profits from their publishing to support the other activities of their organization.
