Printing a new book in China

Postby omid » Sun May 03, 2009 10:43 am

How can I contact a Chinese agent that would help me to translate a book into Chinese(very little) and get a publishing company to print it for China market.

hi pepi. my parents they uesd to work for a publisher, just let me tell u how hard it is to publish a book in china(coz most of publishing companies are managed by governments), You should let some authorities know the contents or even every detail abt ur book, and u need to get a permit to publish your book after that. Then can find a publisher to help you, if they think this book is profitable

That's ok, I will pay for printing cost. How can I find an agent who can handle all these details. I will pay him also
