Writing a
Book? Got a
Publisher?
By VIRGINIA KNAUER
Want your book
published? New York
publisher is seeking
many kinds of man-
uscripts. Let us see
your manuscript and
advise vou about its
publishing possibili-
ties. Call 000-0000
or write P.O. Box X.
Have you ever read an ad like
this one?
If it made you daydream of
contacting that publisher, take
my advice: Be careful.
This type of ad Is run by what
is often called a “vanity’’ pub-
lisher, quite a different animal
from other publishers. It’s Im-
portant to understand the dif-
ference if you have ever thought
of writing a book or finding a
publisher for some treasured
family document.
Most publishers carefully
study manuscripts submitted,
by writers or by writers'
agents. If a publisher sees no
value In a manuscript, he re-
turns It, saying "Thanks, but
no thanks."
On the other hand, when a
publisher likes a manuscript,
he will offer the writer a con-
tract under which the publish-
er agrees to print the book.
The writer is paid on the
basis of royalties. For each
book sold, the writer receives
a certain percentage of the
book’s price. In addition, the
writer often receives an ad-
vance--a down payment against
royalties that the book may
earn for the author. Since the
publisher has Invested his own
money In printing the book, he
Is eager to sell copies.
Vanity publishing--also call-
ed Investment publishing or
subsidy publishing or co-oper-
ative publishing -- works dif-
ferently. The vanity publisher
can be counted on to tell you
that your manuscript deserves
publication. Instead of offer-
ing royalties and an advance,
he explains how much It will
cost you to have your book
printed.
If you agree to this arrange-
ment, the vanity publisher has
H made. He prints the book.
You get the book. He makes
money. The vanity publisher
likely will spend little or no
rnonsy to jst the book sold.
The book--every copy--be-
longs to you. But without fa-
cilities to distribute or sell
your book, what will you do
with all the copies?
If simply having the book
In print Is important to you,
Why not speak with a local
printer? He may well charge
less than the vanity publish-
er and at least you will know
where you stand--surrounded
by stacks of your own book.

other out-of-town publisher to

ington university in Washington

ard university and the Modern
School of Music In Washington,
where she studied music, voice
and cello.
Miss Jones taught elemen-
tary school In Sunderland from
1954 to 1959 and In Baltimore
from 1959 to 1965. During her
teaching career she helped
write the music curriculum for
the Maryland department of ed-
ucation.
She became a member of the
VISTA recruitment staff In
Washington In 1966 and trans-
ferred to Chicago the following
year as a program assistant.

ment for the Greak Lakes re-
gion and later the Northeast
and Middle Atlantic regions un-
til August, 1971, when she was
named chief of the profession-
al services desk for ACTION’S
Office of Citizens Placement In
Washington.

recruitment director for the
northeast region. She will as-
sume her new dual responsi-
bilities for domestic program
operations, recruitment and
communications In Massachus-
etts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Vermont, New Hampshire and

Thursday the entry of a final
order prohibiting an apartment
owner In St. Petersburg, Flor-
ida, from refusing to rent to
black persons.
Assistant Attorney General
J. Stanley Pottlnger, head of

charged that Raymond practices
racial discrimination In the
operation of four apartment
buildings by stating that he
would not rent to blacks and by
evicting a white couple who had
black guests.
Raymond agreed to the entry
of the order making permanent
a preliminary Injunction Issued

him from practicing racial dis-
crimination In the rental of
some 50 units.
The order also requires Ray-
mond to post notices In each

ing that apartments will be
