Writing a book or a journal and then getting it published is not an overnight affair. It's because there's a connection between the author, typesetters and the publishers. The process through which a write-up reaches a publishing house is quite interesting. In this article we have first explained you the process briefly and then presented you the list of best educational publishers in the world. The author writes his content in the form of journals or books. The hard copies and Internet files are then sent to publication companies. The files are then retrieved by the in-house typesetting department or separate entities working with the same. They undertake the responsibility of editing the journals allotted to publication houses which have direct contact with the authors. The journals are then sent back to publishing houses for recheck and then to the respective authors for final approval. In case errors in editing are detected, the files are sent back to the typesetters for re-correction. Once the author gives his final statement of approval, the publication house prints the journals and books as hard copies. They are then distributed in the market for sale.
