Can you give me names of publishing companies that specialise in fantasy and accept email submissions?

I suggest you do what all aspiring authors do and search the web. (Not with the same question.)



Try - fantasy publishers.comCan you give me names of publishing companies that specialise in fantasy and accept email submissions?
This sort of research is the author's job. I second the recommendation for Writers' Market.



Most legitimate publishers (ie not self-publishing companies or vanity presses) don't accept submissions directly from the author - you need to go through a literary agent. When I was looking through Writers' Market for publishers who might accept my manuscript, I found a total of two who publish fantasy and don't require an agent. No, I'm not going to tell you who they are. That information is publicly available, but it's your job to find it.



If you want to self-publish, they all accept fantasy. None of them specialise in any genres, because they know that none of what they print will sell more than a few hundred copies.
Another recommendation for the Writer's Market. Unfortunately hon, this is one of those where you're going to have to do your research. In my experience, any publisher that accepts email submissions is usually a small press digital publishers. The big guys usually don't. The big 6, you'll need an agent.Can you give me names of publishing companies that specialise in fantasy and accept email submissions?
Go to your local library and look at Writer's Markets - it lists 3,000+ publishers.You can go through the list and find out which ones publish the kind of thing you are writing, and which ones will acept email submissions.
The library usually has the newest edition of the Writer's Market. Writer's Market is the most comprehensive book of publishers, addresses, and guidelines that is out today.Can you give me names of publishing companies that specialise in fantasy and accept email submissions?
