Look up a book called “A Rumor of War” by Philip Caputo. He’s is an American author known for his experiences during the Vietnam War.
If you get a copy of his book you can find out who his publisher is and contact them with your idea. You may even be able to find out who his publisher is on the net and get an address or phone number on the net too.
There is Artistic Photography and then there is Soft Porn. No matter who takes the photo or draws the picture, if the model is young or old, posing near a factory now in ruins or a beach with a sailboat it is still porn. Many people of faith, will see it that way and the controversy is actually good.
Madonna did a book called SEX that was soft porn coffee table type book, it sold well. I would not think an unknown could pass it off as art, is always worth an effort.Do not dream the dream, live the dream. Be the dream.
Megapixels are everything. The megapixels determine the resolution of the image and how sharp it is when printed. I have published a couple of pictures before and the minimum criteria of the publisher was 15MP. Some of the landscape book publishers are now requiring, 8×10″ sized books, at least 20mp or 10mp for a half page. Even more resolution if destined for a “coffee table” book.
8mp could be just fine depending on the subject matter, the size of sensor and how “technically” good the image is. Always save your images in TIFF and 14bit color mode. The more visual information a digital file has the better. You should refer to your publishers submission guidelines for complete details.
Most digital cameras produce 72dpi so don’t worry about that so much. The publisher will handle that.
The typical royalty agreement, unless you have what is considered a potential bestseller, will offer you an advance of up to about $5,000. You would then normally earn royalties of about 10% of the net sales. Net sales are defined as those books that are sold to bookstores and not returned. Bookstores often return as much as 40% of the books they order.
However, on the flip side, remember that a traditional publishing contract requires no money from the author. The publisher handles all marketing, editing, and distribution.

To me, that seems a little strange. If I were your friend I’d seriously be doing a lot more research into this. If the publisher is the one profiting from all this and the contributing artists are getting nothing it seems like a real rip-off and not worth the time, effort, or money.
I don’t think I’d get involved in such a venture without any return on my efforts.
You can get paid for your ideas if the publisher promises to pay you before you reveal anything. You can google it on the internet, but you should have interviews with publishers in person though. There is such thing as getting paid and not really writing too much of your work.
If you don’t care to make a profit, I think you will find the photo book companies offer some of the best graphics.
Cheap and maybe acceptable would be the lulu full color books. (not their photo books)
Blurb would be a step up. You can use their template or design your own book and submit it as a pdf file.
Mpix offers books at a few quality levels, ranging from good to excellent.
A couple more with very good reputations:
WHCC (whcc.com)
Askua Books (askuabook.com)
Vison Art (visionartbook.com)
You might also check with printing companies in your area and look at some of their sample work. If you don’t need online sales, etc, going with a straight up printer is usually a better bang for the buck than the online self publishing companies.
etting a book published involves the following 17 steps:
1. Getting organized. Together, you and your ghostwriter/editor determine what kind of book you want. You decide on the size and the approximate length. Then, you come up with a very basic outline.
2. You use the outline as a subject guide for compiling some information. That includes any articles, brochures or other marketing pieces you can find that explain the topics you want to include in the book. Use a file folder for each topic or chapter. Then send them to your ghostwriter/editor. This is also true when you consider finding some other professionals to contribute chapters to your book. (Contributors can also help underwrite the cost.)
3. Your ghostwriter/editor does extensive research to see what other people have to say about your subject. The search is vital because the more references cited in your book, the better you look. It shows that you’re not just a person with a wild idea. Two things are important here. The references must be recent and they must be sources your target market will respect. The internet or the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature at the library both afford you access to hundreds of credible journals and publications.
4. Your ghostwriter/editor compiles a chapter outline with rough copy ideas sketched in for you. He will ask you some questions along the way and send you some page layout ideas and layout ideas for the cover.
5. You go through the chapter outline and give your ghostwriter/editor your thoughts.
6. Drawing from the information, research and outline, your ghostwriter/editor produces a rough draft of your book. Typically, that is done in sections. (This is also a good time to submit articles to magazines your target market reads and/or respects.)
7. You go through the rough draft(s) and mark your corrections.
8. Your ghostwriter/editor makes your corrections and delivers a final draft to you.
9. You approve the final draft, page design and cover design.
10. Your ghostwriter/editor transfers the final version into the desktop publishing program for the printer. It’s important that you understand this step. The printer will not print your book from a word processing program like WordPerfect or Microsoft Word. All book printers work with publishing programs like Quark ExPress and Aldus PageMaker.
11. Once your ghostwriter/editor knows what the cover will look like and exactly how many pages we’re going have, he gets print estimates for you and determines which printer to use. (This is probably a good time to start sending news releases to local media, like newspapers, radio and TV stations).
12. You send your ghostwriter/editor a check for the printing charges.
13. Your ghostwriter/editor sends the final book package to the printer with the check.
14. The printer sends your ghostwriter/editor the “blue lines” for approval. “Blue lines” show exactly what the type will look like. Both of you should approve them.
15. The printer lets your ghostwriter/editor know what the final charges are. That’s determined by the exact number of copies printed and if there were any unanticipated print production charges.
16. The printer’s final invoice is paid.
17. The printer ships the books to you.
As you can see, you can be involved as much or as little as you want to be. Either way, the book you’ll receive will be clear, easy to read, easy for your target market to understand. It will make you look like the penultimate expert on your subject. You’ll be the accepted authority.
The success percentage. The exact number is difficult to gauge, but it is significant. In my research on what builds the credibility, I asked “authors” about the increase in business that they can directly attribute to book projects, the answer is overwhelmingly 50%!
How Much Publishing Your Book Will Cost
The confusion over how much publishing a book costs is tremendous. An insurance agent called me in January and wanted a complete book for $500. A financial planner was happy to pay between $20,000 – $30,000. To put the actual costs into perspective for you, I’m going to break your book into separate services and explain the services and their costs.
5 Steps. As you now know, there are 17 minor steps to getting your book published. Those 17 steps can be organized into five major steps: Research, Writing, Page Design, Print Production and finally Printing. I believe the most logical way to estimate the cost of a book is to spread the total over the length of the book. Thus, each page has a cost that is easier to understand.
1. Research. Finding magazine articles, reports and academic studies that support your topic can bring enormous credibility to you and your book. The question is, do you have time to spend a hundred hours in the library or on the internet? Of course not. But your ghostwriter/editor does. For instance, referring to a re

What are the economics of book publishing, and how much does the author get usually?
I am working on a book concept that I would like to get published in September ish in the UK but also in the US, and I am wondering how much does the author usually gets in absolute terms per copy sold? I would also love to hear from an actual publisher interested in a coffee table book on entrepreneurship….
Is there a market in Australia for a coffee table book or calendar featuring artistic nude photography?
If so, how would one go about getting that sort of thing published? Is there a publisher out there that might be interested?
How do I format an illustrated book before I send it to the publisher?
I’ve never really been a writer, but I got an idea for a coffee table book that I had to write down. Since coffee table books are illustrated, should I find an illustrator first or send in the manuscript? If I don’t have to find an illustrator, do I format the manuscript all on one or two pages or split it up as it would be published? I tried doing a search on the internet for information or books I can read, but found irrelevant information. I had to take a class on how to get published for my music degree, but this is an entirely different industry, so if you could steer me in the right direction, that would be great.
This idea is for a 15-page illustrated coffee table book. I’m personally not an artist, but I know enough artists that I may be able to get an illustrator before I send in the book idea.
Where do I go to find information for having my photos published as a coffeetable book?
I am a semi-pro photographer who wants to publish a coffee table book of my photos and sell them at the major bookstores. This is not just for my coffee table and those of my friends and relatives. How do I go about selling my idea to major publishers….
Should an artist have to pay to participate in a book about style and design?
A friend of mine is an artist and she was recently offered an opportunity to be featured in a book about “art, design and lifestyle”
The publisher is producing a coffee-table book, much like her previous books about room design and architecture.
The weird thing is that she is asking the participating artists to cover their own costs, by paying from a few hundred to about $2000 (local currency, it’s not in the US), as well as paying for the photographer.
Is it usual for publishers like that to roll the production costs onto the artists, and then sell the book at a profit at next-to-nothing costs?
Is it appropriate to participate in this thing?
I have an idea for a book?
I have a great idea for a coffee table book. It doesn’t involve much writing on my part so I was wondering if there was any way just to give the idea to a publisher and I perhaps get a small amount of profit? Or would I have to do the whole thing myself and hope some publisher likes it to get anything from it.
BTW my idea of a small amount can be as minute as a few hundred dollars.
who is a good self-publisher for thin hardcover books?
i want to self-publish a thin, high-quality, hardcover book. the graphics are really important, so i want it on good quality paper. are there any good self-publishers for this type of project? it’s for a children’s book, but i want it to be nice quality, so i was thinking of going for the coffee table style books. please let me know if you have any recommendations. i’m not doing this to try and make profit off of the books. thank you.
Where could I possibly a copy of Half Life 2: Raising the Bar?
This is a coffee table book from 2004. I’ve tried Angus and Robertson’s bookstores, and Collins, and none have it. I’ve checked the publishers website, and they only ship to America, and Amazon and Ebay are too expensive. Any suggestions at all are welcome. Thanks in advanc.

What is the required level of quality for photographs submitted to a book publisher?
My friend is thinking of submitting an idea for a photo book (coffee table/gift type) to a publisher. She wants to collect a bunch of photos, and assemble them into a submission. Her basic idea sounds good, but I’m concerned that her camera isn’t a high enough quality. Does anyone know how high quality these pictures should be? Like is there a minimum number of mega pixels? Her current camera is only 8mp.
TIA!
I have a ton of pictures of the Vietnam War (that I took), how do I get a publisher make a coffee table book?
I have had them and their negatives in boxes for the last ~40 years, since I took them in 1968-1970. I think people would like to see them in book form.
Does anyone know how I might go about getting in contact with a publisher that could help me get a book into stores?
Thanks!
