a "dōjinshi" creator compares the manuals of different "dōjinshi" printers, which detail the company's prices and submission procedures, and selects a plan that fits with their budget and publication schedule. they agree on a delivery date with the printer, send in their manuscript in analog format via postal mail or in digital format through the printer's ftp server, and make the required payment. the "dōjinshi" are then printed and delivered. in the likely event that the creator wants to sell a "dōjinshi" at an upcoming "dōjinshi" convention, it is often possible to have the printer deliver the finished "dōjinshi" directly to the convention location. in that case, the "dōjinshi" creator has to submit their manuscript by a strict deadline that cannot usually be extended except by paying more. some "dōjinshi" printers also deliver to "dōjin" shops that have agreed to distribute a creator's "dōjinshi".
