TOR publishes a great deal of fantasy - and they even publish first-time authors in hardcover, which is almost unheard of due to costs! Once you have a manuscript ready, check their web page for submission details.
Good luck to you!! :)

Lina:

I wrote two books and wound up self publishing them. Check the web for publishers and agents. They will tell you what they are interested in publishing and how to send your manuscript. If excepted, they will look after the marketing. As a new writer you will get around 15%of books sold and an upfront $$ amount. Best selling authors can demand up to 80 - 90 %.
Anyhow it is not easy and this is why I self published. Be sure to check (Warnings and Cautions for Writers.) There are bad guys out there trying to take your $$. Should you go the Self Publish route, give me a shout I can help and charge nothing. barwaynerus@yahoo.com

If you're truly interested in having a book published the important thing is to have the book completed before you start thinking about who to send it to.

When you are ready I would then suggest you do some research. The Writer's Market is an excellent resource for finding publishers and agents specializing in different genres and giving you the criteria for submission.

First, while you're suffering, I advise which you re-study your manuscript, your merchandising and marketing plan, your theory and your question letter. Your theory and question letter could be written with right here issues in strategies: --who will desire to purchase your e book, --why they're going to desire your e book extra effective than the 1000's of others accessible, --the place those anybody is maximum in basic terms found, --which contributors of those communities are maximum influential, -- what you're able to make a contribution on your writer's attempt to publicize your e book, etc. you could, in actuality, desire to revisit your manuscript with those questions in strategies. Fiction fills a desire in the reader in basic terms as lots, if much less needless to say, as non-fiction does. you're able to comprehend what chords your artwork will strike in the reader, and why. in basic terms be confident you supply as much as conceivable of motives why your suited readers study. Now: the thank you to attain the dazzling writer? First, start up with an agent. in case you have all the above, on suitable of an excellent piece of writing, you would be properly earlier than the p.c... So, seem on the books which would be beside yours on the shelf. Are their any brokers stated in the front count number? Any editors, the two? start up with those human beings. next, study brokers in properly-known references like the author's marketplace, and the Literary marketplace place. the two could be available on your community library device. So will different comparable lists. do no longer deliver your theory or question to companies or those that don't artwork on your type. it incredibly is a waste of a few time and money, besides as theirs. you will could bypass by using 1000's of listings to come across the dazzling ones, yet even this is barely some hours of artwork. you're able to try this, in case you positioned approximately it with the comparable strategies-set and endurance that show you how to end and varnish your manuscript.
