Publishing companies for fantasy stories?

Just want to keep a list for now, I'm a total fantasy writer and I'm finishing up a story I want to publish.It probably won't be ready to show off for a few more months, maybe 3 or 4, maybe more! lol, all depends, but I read online that when trying to find a publisher look at books like yours and see who that publisher is, well haven't been able to go to Barnes and Noble lately, so I'm asking you people.

so got any?Publishing companies for fantasy stories?
Tor Books accepts unsolicited manuscripts (http://us.macmillan.com/Tor.aspx)



In general, there are very few publishers who accept unsolicited manuscripts (those that don't go through a literary agent), so getting an agent is a really good idea.



Visit http://www.agentquery.com or, at the bookstore or library, look for Bowker's Literary Marketplace, Writer's Market 2010 or Jeff Herman's Guide to Literary Agents. Look for agents that handle your genre, and are looking for new clients. Read, and follow, their submission guidelines.



Those books will have something about writing a query letter, which is what you send to the agent first. It's part synopsis of your book, and part explanation as to why your book deserves to be published. You have only that one-page letter to get the agent's attention, so take the time to make it a good one.



Expect the whole process to take lots of time, and expect many rejections. When you are accepted by an agent, they will send your book to publishers, not you.



Except for postage, the entire process of getting an agent is FREE, until a publisher buys your book. That is when the agent gets their cut, usually 15%, of the money that goes to you. Run away from any agent who asks for money upfront.



Good luck!
