Publishing Industry

Publishing companies have entered a new era that is accompanied by publishers, artists, music creators etc. It swings from the traditional approach of textbooks to ebooks and audiobooks. The publishing industry is progressing rapidly and intensifying in complexity as film and television industry, especially when it comes to managing ownership and control, rights and royalty management.
