The diagram illustrates the multitude of steps a book undergoes before being published. Overall, there are nine stages a manuscript goes through before being released to the readership. After being written, the manuscript is sent from the writer to the publishing house in order to be meticulously analyzed and studied. Once the book is validated, a contract between the author and the publisher has to be agreed upon and signed. The next step consists of designing the layout for the book using computer science, before getting the final validation. Then comes the moment of printing, in other words, put the data from a digital form to a paper form. The printing is followed by the bookbinding. In fact, the editor chooses the correct format of the manuscript. Finally, the volume can be delivered to many bookshops so it can be commercialized. All the process takes approximately a timespan of 18 to 24 months. To conclude we can say that the release of a writing production in a paper format, no matter the literature genre (not gender) of it, needs numerous steps. These are 9 stations to be exact, and require full collaboration between a publishing house and the author.
