educational books or belle lettres a commercial choice

publishers have to decide betwween publishing purely educational books and books intended for pleasure reading.This is obviously for profit motive .
biographies and autobiographies of public figures are fast gaining wider acceptance with publishers.These often garner handsome revenues at formal launches.Budding authorsoften have to search high and low for publishersand sometimes they are asked to financethere own publuishing.fot example,anew writre may be asked to fund aboue ten thou sand copies.Of course,bestsellers have guaranteed potential for for revision and re-issuance.
literary books are however indispesable to the preservation and transmisson of culture .For self development too.
The first stage inthe publishing process is the assessment of the submitted manuscript.If it is
deemed worthy,its submitted for further consideration
With the many problems besieging the publishing industry in nigeria,some stages are not observed .This leads to low quality of production in certai cases.
