Where can i find publishing companies for a new book?

First have to make strong suggestion you read the first section (only, for now) of a current edition of The Writer's Market: "How to Publish."

Read it until you know it all, very very well. [ADD: It's online too, safe link: http://www.writersmarket.com though it costs $3.99/month to read all of it. But you can at least take a look.]

If you can't afford it, study it at a public library, and make notes and copy pages (free there) of all relevant pages.



This is necessary to publish properly. [ADD: if you don't know already]

There are several steps to follow before deciding on either agent, editor or publisher.

After you know all of them and have checked via links in book who is reputable in the field you want to publish, THEN look up names of agents or publishers, and follow steps you then know.



It's a lot of work and takes time.

Be patient, persistent and optimistic in the face of rejections. I got a whole lot of rejections before publication; then job as journalist, published lots of short fiction, one play to success and some bad poems. By then things were a lot easier %26amp; remain so.



If you're wanting to 'self-publish,' realize that for most authors, that is a dead-end; you won't see your books in bookstores unless you have lots of capital, connections and can self-promote a good quality extremely well. Since vanity press doesn't offer any editing, promotion and sometimes give you a product not really agreed to, it is a very dicey thing to do. I alway advise against that.



If you have yet to have anything at all in print, suggest you try for a short piece published (even for free) via local paper, local lit publication, contest (they usually cost a readers' fee); any venue you find. This is for something to show prospective agents. They like to see that you have successfully had a piece published before.

Writer's Market is a great book that lists Agents, Publishers and Editors as well as all kinds of other resources. I would try to get an agent to represent you before I went looking ofr publishers . . .Where can i find publishing companies for a new book?
Edit your book several times to make it the best it can be, type it in proper manuscript form (visit http://www.writersdigest.com to find out what is needed), consider joining a local writer's group to get feedback from other would-be writers, and get it proofread by someone who knows what they are doing (don't rely just on spellcheck). Edit it some more.



There are a tiny number of publishers that accept unsolicited manuscripts (those that don't go through a literary agent), so getting an agent first is a really good idea.



At the library or bookstore is Guide to Literary Agents, published by Writer's Digest, or Bowker's Literary Marketplace (or visit http://www.agentquery.com). Look for agents that specialize in your genre, and are looking for new clients. Read, and follow, their submission guidelines. In those books will be 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 wow the agent, 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.



Good luck!Where can i find publishing companies for a new book?
It's best to have a self-publisher when you want to publish immediately. You don't have to go through the hassle of having your manuscript edited and approved. In self-publishing, you have full-control of your story.



Self-publishers also offer marketing services for your book if you don't want to do it yourself. But then, even JK Rowling does her own book promotions. NO one can best promote the book than the book author.



There are different schools of thought about self-publishing. Here's my two cents: be very careful in choosing the right one. Work with a self-publisher that is known for its integrity and excellence in service.
