Support We Provide for International Publication of Academic and Literary Books
China¡¯s economy has been fully integrated into the global economic community. Moreover, China has overtaken Japan to become the world¡¯s second-largest economy. These economic developments have created many challenges and opportunities for Chinese academic and cultural communities. After the outbreak of the international financial crisis in 2008, the Chinese government established the ¡°Going Out¡± strategy, which encourages Chinese investment abroad as well as active participation by Chinese scientists, scholars, writers, and translators in international academic and cultural exchanges. To this end, we offer a full range of services supporting publication of academic and literary works, whether or not they have been published in mainland China, in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and other English-speaking countries. |

These services include, but are not limited to, the following.
- Finding the most suitable publishers: We have established a wide international network of experts, writers, and editors who are familiar with the world¡¯s leading publishers and can help find the most suitable publisher for your book.
- Preparing book publishing proposals: Publishers in developed western countries have rigorous assessment, review, and approval procedures . Commissioning/acquisitions editors require an academic or literary manuscript to meet detailed requirements to ensure that its publication will meet a market demand and deliver economic benefits. We have considerable experience and skill in the preparation of book publishing proposals. For example, Chinese academic authors, when asked to suggest reviewers for their manuscripts, tend to choose famous experts with whom they have a good relationship; however, according to the requirements of western publishers, we recommend that you suggest experts familiar with your book and the relevant field.
- Getting a book publishing contract : Our Chinese and foreign experts will help you answer the questions raised by the publisher and take positive and effective measures to successfully get a book publishing contract .
- Reviewing the book publishing contract: Copyright laws vary greatly across countries. Our Chinese and foreign experts have studied the copyright laws of relevant countries and are familiar with specific provisions affecting authors¡¯ interests, and we can help you to carefully review your publishing contract and protect your rights.
- Seeking funding to support publication: After concluding a book publishing contract, you can apply for national and provincial funding for translation and publication from the relevant department in China; we can help you with this step as well.
- Translating and copyediting your manuscript: Our translators follow a strict four-step process that ensures high quality (translating, revising, proofreading, and verifying); then, our native-English-speaking editors copyedit the translation so as to meet the requirements of the international publisher.
- Reviewing the book before printing: Most publishers ask the author to review a full set of page proofs before publication. We can provide follow-up editing support to ensure the successful delivery, printing, publishing, and distribution of your book manuscript.
