Are there any book publishing companies who are currently accepting fiction entries?

Most publishing companies are always accepting entries, it's how they make money. BUT most of them don't accept from individuals, you have an submit through an agent. Writers Digest is a magazine that publishes a big list of agents, the type of submissions they are looking for, and how/where to send your submission. The job of your agent is to find you a publisher for a percentage of what you get offered. If you want to do it without an agent, try going to some smaller publishers websites and see what their submission guidelines are:





This is from the Random House website:


If you would like to have your work or manuscript considered for publication by a major book publisher, we recommend that you work with an established literary agent. Each agency has manuscript submission guidelines. You may wish to refer to The Literary MarketPlace (the LMP), a reference guide that contains a listing of literary agencies. It can be found in most libraries. Another excellent source is The Writer's Market, which you should be able to find in a local bookstore or library. You can also visit their Web site at http://www.writersdigest.com for more information.
