Note
The singular present takes -es rather than a bare -s because publish ends in -sh, like wish and push, and the ending adds a syllable. The form takes objects of several kinds: a press publishes a novel, a council publishes its decision, a house publishes an author. It also stands alone. A scholar who publishes regularly is having work accepted, and a firm that publishes simply issues titles.
