What is a publishing organization?

Answer 1

It is a group that publishes things. An individual does not usually have the money to originally invest into putting a book on the market. A publish house, as they're often called, is a company that will pay for these original cost, like writing the book, editing, marketing, and printing. But to make money, they also get paid based on the number of books sold, often as a percentage of total profit. Some publishing houses will allow you to pay them to put your book in print.
