Book Publishers
Book Publishers?
I have been working on a story (still at the beginning) and I just need some names or company names of book publishers. And the thing is, my story is not too kid-friendly, mainly because of some violence and stuff. Would Scholastic work? Or is that too much of a kid-friendly company? I appreciate any answers.
And just so you people know, I just want to plan ahead and gather information so when my story is finished, I can start looking right away.
Yes, you need to finish the story before you even contemplate contacting an agent or a publisher.
I recommend going to the public library and using the Literary Market Place or the Writers Market and searching for publishers and/or agents that specialize in the genre you’re book falls into. It never hurts to have some ideas on where you will make your submissions when the book is finished.
However, beginning this early in the game is pointless because things change so much in this industry that a publisher or an agent you earmark now could be out of business by the time your manuscript is completed, or they could have changed markets, be closed to submissions, etc. Put all your time and energy into completing the work, then look for agents/publishers.
When it does come time to submitting your work, always follow the submissions guidelines to the their specifications, not yours. The first mark of an amateur is not paying any attention to what they want in a submission package.
Nearly all agents/publishers will pass on query letters regarding incomplete work. They get submissions from literally hundreds of places who are marketing completed works, that they simply have no time to bother with a work that’s not yet written.
Another place for you to look is the Preditors&Editors web site. They have a great listing of agents and publishers.
Best wishes to you on your writing endeavors!
