2nd diagram. 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 wrote, the manuscript is sent from the writer to 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 and signed. The next step consists on designing the layout for the book using computer science before getting the final validation. Then comes the moment to print, in another words, put the data from a digital form to a paper form. The book binding follows the printing. Once the editor chooses the correct shape of the product, the work can be delivered to many bookshops so it can be commercialized. To conclude we can say that the release of a writing production in a paper format, no matter the literature gender of the manuscript, needs numerous steps, 9 to be exact, and requires full collaboration between a publishing house and the author.
