Academic Publishers & Publishing Companies
The term publishing originally meant making publicly known, but it now means the preparation and dissemination of written material for public use. This includes information found in textbooks, works of nonfiction, newspapers, and periodicals as well as fiction, drama, and poetry. The invention of movable type by Johann Gutenberg in Germany in the 15th century marks the beginning of modern publishing. Before then publishing was done by distributed handwritten manuscripts. Publishing has increased literacy, and the structure of contemporary civilization is based largely on the effective publishing of information.
