What are the most important book publishing companies in US?

I think it depends on what genre you're speaking of. Some publishers are better known for their fiction, some for their non-fiction, others for their young adult divisions. Also, a lot of the "imprints" and publishers that may sound familiar are actually wrapped up into a bigger conglomerate.



But I think it's safe to say the major five publishing houses (and their popular imprints are):



-Random House (Bantam Dell, Crown, Knopf, Bantam Doubleday, Broadway)

-Harper Collins (Avon, Harper Teen, William Morrow)

-Penguin Group (Penguin, Putnum, Dutton, Viking, Riverhead, Berkley, etc.)

-Macmillan (St. Martin's Press, FSG, TOR, Picador)

-Simon %26amp; Schuster (Atria, Pocket, Scribner, Touchstone/Fireside)



I hope this helps!

All Best,
