Yes many will! But you may want to tyry the following. I have written and self published two books. It is a very hard row to hoe finding a publisher. An almost imposible task. This is why I was forced to self publish. I will give you a name and ask that you please let me know how you made out if you go this route. They promise to get back to you in two days with your query and they do.
If they are interested they ask you to send them your manuscript by email. To my knowledge they are the only ones that work this way. All others want it sent by regular mail and believe me this takes up to three years to get an answer if you get one at all. After they check your manuscript they promise to get back in two weeks and again they do.
Go to your browser and type in New York Literary Agency and follow their instructions. Good luck and again, please let me know how you make out with this firm. Wayne, The Vagabond Writer

Rare, very rare. If they do, the manuscript will be picked up off the slush pile. Sure we all hear about the successful publishing stories like Nicolas Sparks who had his first manuscript rejected over 30 times, neverthless the odds of getting a manuscript published by a big publishing house without agent representation is 1 out of 500 manuscripts written. Best bet is small publishing houses.

From experience, I can tell you with certainty that any manuscript or screenplay sent to a publisher unsolicited will wind up lining their trash bin without even being opened.
Don't waste you time.
Find a copy of the 2007 Writer's Market at your local library; you'll find everything you need in there.

Boo, i do no longer comprehend of any valid publishers who settle for unsolicited manuscripts. yet that doesn't advise you ought to have an agent. there are various publishers who settle for question letters straight away from authors, and who might then ask to work out the manuscript, making it solicited. looks such as you're purely initiating to do the homework on the corporation end of writing. Get to a e book shop and picture your e book on the cabinets. What books could this is competing with? observe titles, authors, and publishers. Now pass abode and ascertain whether those publishers require brokers. in the event that they do no longer, they're going to have submission regulations for writers. in case you elect an agent, decide what agent brokered the bargains for the titles you purely observed. it is your a catalogue.

Very few. You didn't mention the type of media you mean (book, article, screenplay, etc.) but I suggest you get a copy of the Writer's Handbook (or similar publication) which includes the names of agents and publicists, and start talking to them.

These days, no. Nearly all well-established publishers require agent representation. Your best bet is to query agents and let them do the work for you.
