Publishing Company
When authors publish something, they make their writing available for people to read. Books are published by publishing companies. These companies print, bind, and sell the books to book stores. You may have seen major publishing companies such as Scholastic, Harper Collins, or McGraw-Hill written in the front or back covers of many books you have read. The publishing companies usually print their name, address, and date of publishing on books.

About the Author
You may have noticed in some books that there is an "About the Author" section usually found in the back inside-cover. This section is usually accompanied by a current photo of the author. This is a place where the author is described in the third person (the author doesn't say "I was born in..." but rather that author is described by someone else "Elena Caceres was born in...." In this section, readers usually learn about the author's favorite genre to write, other books he has written or if the book is his first, his education background, where he lives today, and what he enjoys doing on his free time.
