Book publishing companies?

I am writing a book and I am curious to know what are some of the most popular publishing companies...please list some of them and their mailing/e-mail address. Thank you sooo much =)Book publishing companies?
Terrible answer by Dorrance, IMO. Paying to publish fiction is a lose-money proposition, and if you sell 50 copies, including the ones you buy yourself, you'll be doing better than average.



If Dorrance chose the user name because they represent or own that particular vanity press, they're simply spamming you.



At this point, it's far too early to worry about contacting publishers and how. Concentrate on the step you're on, writing the first draft of your book. Finish it, then start the rewrite. Seek qualified critique. Rewrite again. Critique again. Revise, rewrite, and polish until you cannot make it better. Seek beta readers who are well-read in its genre. Do one final revision.



*Then* seek information on publishers. Meanwhile, etch into your brain Yog's Law: All money flows toward the writer.



Any time the writer is asked to spend money, that breaks Yog's Law, and you should not do it--including paying to publish with Dorrance or any other vanity press.Book publishing companies?
Congratulations on your decision to write a book. You are working towards a wonderful, fulfilling, gratifying goal. How truly wonderful.



One option you may want to consider is going the self-publishing route. It's becoming more difficult, in this rough economic climate, to find a trade publisher willing to expend the money to pick up a work by a new or unknown author. If the desire is there, however, to see your work published, you do not have to sit and wait for a trade house to make this a reality.



There are many self-publishing options available to authors, from full-service subsidy publishers such as Dorrance Publishing to low-cost print-on-demand services, like RoseDog Books. These companies can help you take your raw manuscript through a pre-press process that gets it into shape for publication.



Whatever route you may choose, please do due diligence and research the company in which you are interested through the Better Business Bureau. This service, which is available at no cost and online, is valuable to be sure the company with which you are thinking of working is an active member willing to do what is necessary to satisfy its customers.

Look for the most recent edition of WRITER'S MARKET in your local library. It's printed every year and contains the names, addresses, types of mss wanted, etc for every major publisher in the U.S. You have to check out the specifics, since for example you do not want to send an SF novel to Knopf or a romance to TOR. (Virtually every publisher considered professional will be in NYC. There are some exceptions, but you want to start with the NYC ones.)



DO NOT email a publisher! They'll want a query letter or a proposal (outline and sample chapters) for any submission you'd like to send them.



WRITER'S MARKET also typically has articles on proper manuscript format and other aspects of the publishing business.



N.B. Dorchester is one of the very lowest paying publishers out there.
