You should put up what type of story, what's the theme, or whatever. It would make it a lot easier to find publishers that way.



Ex:



A novel- romance

A novelette- horror

A poem- suspenseKnow of any good publishing companies that will help me publish a story?
Hey, congrats! Not everyone has the courage to face the publishing industry even if their literature is highly recommended for public consumption. Because you already have your materials, the next thing you might decide on doing is to find a publisher who will be your retailer, publisher, editor and distributor at the same time - which is of course not that easy to find.



Maybe you would like to ask around and perhaps shop around. Many would also suggest getting an agent which could take SO long for them to sit down and actually notice what you have there and believe me, we are not just talking months here but years. Let me give you something to peruse at while you are at it and hopefully this will help in your ride to the wagon of success.



I wish you luck! I got mine in the mail, too. Helps to collect these information before you get to decide. :)



Good luck!
I met with many writers (3) and when I finally got to talk to them i asked them all one question, "How can i get my books published?" Two of them said, Writers Market, it's a book full of publishers and their info. They told me to get it and use that as the first step. Hope this helps!
