The act of publishing involves offering books, music, software, and other types of content to the general public for sale or free. The phrase has long been used to refer to the dispersal of written materials including books, newspapers, and magazines. With the advancement of digital information systems, the breadth of electronic publishing, including eBooks, scholarly journals, micro-publishing, websites web content writing services, blogs, video game publishing, and other types of electronic publishing, has expanded.


"The act of issuing (printed, reproduced, textual or graphic content, etc.) for sale or distribution to the general public" is the definition of publishing. Publishers treat books, especially ebooks, in this way. Publishing is the process of turning an author's text into a physical book and putting it into the hands of readers. A printed codex or a digital codex are both acceptable forms of this (an ebook). The author either requests the manuscript or it is solicited (the publisher asks them to write it) (the author writes it, then shops for a publisher). Many authors engage an agency to assist them in coming to an arrangement with a publisher since rejection hurts and publishing contracts are challenging. A publishing company (like Penguin Random House or Text Publishing) or a person holding the title of the publisher are both examples of "publishers."
