Small publishing companies that deal with...?

Looking for good small publishing companies that deal with romantic-suspence and romantic-thriller novels. I've heard good things about new writers being better off with a smaller publishing company, one that could push their book and they wouldnt get lost in all the best sellers or different genres. That's why I like smaller publishing companies and when Im done with my manuscript, Id like to try and get it published through one. If anyone knows of some or a place that will let me know where to find them, that would be very helpful to me, thanks.



Also I dont like the ones where you submit the book and they print just what is sold and there is not editor or anything like that. Naturally I also dont care about self publishing or vanity presses, heard too many bad things about both. Thanks for any advice.Small publishing companies that deal with...?
Yeah, pick up a copy of Writer's Market. If you're writing romance then Harlequin accepts unagented submissions. Harlequin is the largest publisher of romance. Tor also accepts unagented manuscripts. Tor is the largest publisher of sci-fi, but they also publish other genres. You can read its guidelines to see if you should submit. Check writer's forums like Absolutewrite.com. It has a subforum for people to discuss literary agents and publishers and which ones are good and bad. GL.



Small publishing companies can benefit you, but if you want to make a career as a writer then you need an audience that's buying your book. Small publishers are limited with how much they can financially support your book and get it out there. I'm not exactly following your logic regarding best sellers. Most books will NEVER make that status. Larger publishers are the ones that can bring your book to the masses and give it the financial support it needs to be a success (luck is included). I'm sure you've heard of the Time Traveller's Wife? This was a book that was published by a small press and obviously ended up being a break out hit (I mean, she got a 4 million advance for her second book(!) because the first one was so successful). Small presses are limited with distribution and marketing. The author of the Time Traveller's Wife wanted to go with the same small press for her second book but decided against it because they couldn't offer her the type of distribution she would need for her second book. Those are some of the things you need to think about. There's nothing wrong with small presses, but you have to carefully consider the pros and cons of going with a small press because they do have their limitation and compare that with where you want your career to go. And, even so, small presses can publish different genres, and just because you're publishing with them does not mean that they're going to put all their money behind your book: Their more established authors might get the bulk of marketing support while your book rarely gets anything. Also, small press authors also have to put in more leg work to market, promote and sell their books compared to large press authors. Just sayin. There are pros and cons, so think them through carefully, and I don't get the logic about getting lost amongst all the best sellers and different genres and would appreciate if you expounded on that thought.Small publishing companies that deal with...?
Get a copy of Writer's Markets - you'll find numerous small presses listed there, along with the biggies. You can read through their specifics and follow the instructions on how to submit.

Self publishing can be good if you have a market - for example, if you live near an historic location and publish a small book about the history of the place, and the tourist bureau or gift shop carries it, you can make a small profit. But in general, self publishing is very difficult because marketing is such a problem. Vanity press is useless - I've seen soooo many books published through vanity press and they are terrible.Then generaly need some serious editing (which the vanity publishers don't provide)
