Which author is usually in charge of distributing reproductions of a publication to readers? The primary author is the person who actually writes the book. However, every author should have the opportunity to see their work published. Therefore, other authors should be included in the process as well.
In which order should you read the authors' names? Start with the main author, then add the co-authors. If there are multiple editions of the same work, refer to the title page for the edition you want to follow. (For example, if there are two editions of Harry Potter: Book 1, choose Book 1 because that is the first volume written by J K Rowling.)
An author's name may also appear on books that they did not write. For example, Thomas Hardy wrote only one novel but it has been estimated that he sold about 200 million copies of his poems alone. His work is so popular that "Hardy" becomes a generic term for a poetic romance.
Similarly, Charles Dickens was not the main writer for each of the stories in his novels. He often had help from others. But everyone knows that he was the master mind behind A Christmas Carol and David Copperfield and these stories are often called "Dickensiana".
The word "published author" refers to an author (particularly but not always of books) whose work has been independently accepted for publication by a recognized publisher, as opposed to a self-publishing or unpublished author. The term is generally used in the English-speaking world, but may have different meanings in other languages.
In the United States, Canada, and some other countries, an author becomes "published" when their book is accepted for print. In many other countries, being published means that your work is out in the public domain or that you have entered into some type of license agreement with a publisher.
An author can be considered "published" even if their work isn't printed yet. For example, an author can be published in a journal or magazine - this means that they are considered published authors even if they don't sell any products. Also, an author can be considered published even if they haven't signed a contract with a publisher. For example, an author can submit a manuscript to a contest without ever being selected by the sponsor as a winner. Even though they didn't win, they still received an award certificate from the contest director that mentions their name as a published author.
In order to be considered a published author, one's work must have been accepted by a publisher. An author can apply pressure to try to get their work published.
Authors frequently grant copyright in journal publications to the journal or publisher. In most cases, when a book is published, the author grants the publisher a license. The author cannot grant rights to their own work nor can they sublicense them. If an author does so, then it is considered plagiarism.
In some cases, authors may be able to transfer ownership of their work to others. For example, an author's employer may have policies regarding who owns the intellectual property created by employees. Employees can usually transfer ownership of their work independently of one another or as part of a settlement with their employer. Authors should contact their employers to see if this is possible before publishing to ensure that they are given credit and that their work isn't used against them later if they leave the company.
As well as being an author you can be a publisher as well. This occurs when someone else owns the copyright for a work and they license it out to you per say. Sometimes this may even be another publisher. So basically your role would be only to publish the work instead of creating it yourself. However there are many factors that go into deciding whether or not you want to become a publisher.
