Publisher wanted, advice on Christian angel book?

Question

I have written a book, several actually. But the book that I think is my best, is a book about angels. It's a Christian book, but not overtly so, not preachy in any way. I think it would offer a lot of comfort to anyone who has lost a loved one or friend, especially a child.

I have sent a lot of email query letters to places that accept electronic mail but don't get anywhere. Does anyone have a publisher or agent sugggestion for this type of work?

Answer 1

Have you considered self-publishing?

You'll have control over marketing, sales, promotions etc that a publisher won't give you, and the sad truth is most traditional published books get very little promotion, so they don't sell.

There are some links below for ideas. You'll want to really research thoroughly and have a solid plan, especially your marketing and distribution strategy. Hint: bookstores are not the primary place you might sell the book.

Now, if you're set on a traditional publisher, I'd cruise Amazon and the bookstores and look for titles that are vey similar to yours, then contact those publishers.

Good luck

Den:
There are very many publishers and agents on the web. Most however do not take manuscripts sent by email. Those that do, I suggest you be causious with. Check (Warnings & Cautions for Writers.) Most want you to send your manuscript by snail mail and will tell you how they want it made up. They will also tell you what subjects they except. In your case, religious books. I self published two books because after two years of sending out manuscripts and recieveing only three reply's to the negative. (One answer came three years later.) I gave up and went the self publish route. Hope this helps.

ok... in classic publishing they pays you. they are going to prefer to verify a pattern of your paintings first then settle on in case you're good for them. that is rather like triumphing the lottery and intensely some publishers won't even seem at unagented writing (so ideally you will desire to have an agent first.) Then there is self publishing. You pay many times for formatting, isbn, some promo, having it made into an e e book, and frequently get between 5-25 copies,based on the deal. commonly after that the e book would be ordered as a print on call for e book, meaning you do no longer would desire to reserve/pay for extremely some copies you may desire to no longer sell. there have been lots of contemporary success memories in self publishing, yet you will would desire to do lots of self exposure so as to sell nicely. and you will would desire to be quite stable so as to sell, simply by fact, except you pay to have an editor seem it over, you will desire to do each and each of the revisions your self and novices many times can no longer see their flaws or understand the thank you to rectify them. The scams tend to be those that furnish to print something from a digital camera waiting replica and ask you to purchase various hundred books outright. those frequently seem truly hand-crafted and grotesque, and are frequently high priced as heck.some so-referred to as 'publishing' properties accessible additionally declare to be genuine publishers simply by fact they do no longer cost a value. yet what they do is print truly high priced copies of your e book and supply you no loose author's copies, interior the hopes you and your loved ones/acquaintances will purchase them besides, and that's how they make their money. apparently they have truly restrictive contracts that folk have a complicated time getting out of.
