im thinking of pubslishing a book im writing, does anyonw knwo any company willing to publish? thanks dudes.?

Answer 1

Assuming your book is NOT written in the same manner as this question:

Here is the breakdown on publishers in general. To locate specific publishers or agents, get a copy of Writer's Digest, The Writer, or Poets & Writers.

Traditional route, large publishing house: You will need an agent. An agent is someone who knows how to work with the big publishers. An agent will read your manuscript and suggest changes to increase it's chances of publication. Most large publishers will only accepted agented submissions.

An agent can even start representing you before your book is finished. A good agent can get you a deal before the book is complete. So you don't even need a final manuscript to work this way.

An agent is paid on commission, and is only paid if they place your book. Generally they will get a 10-20% cut of the royalties. An agent that asks for money up front, or tries to sell add-on services, is a scam.

And contrary to popular myth, it is NOT impossible to get an agent. Agents are always hungry for new talent. Remember the mantra "Every published writer was once an unpublished writer."

Traditional publishing, small press: Most small press publishers will review non-agented submissions. However, you must query first. If they are interested, they will ask to see the completed manuscript.

In either traditional route, it will not cost you one dime. The publisher will use it's own editors, proofreaders, book designers, and salespeople to design and market your book.

Non-traditional publishing, Subsidy: Subsidy publishing in any form is a scam. In these scenarios, the alleged publisher asks the writer to "invest" in the project. They may ask you to pay for special services. Or nickel and dime you by charging you for proofreading, editing, etc. This is not how a traditional publisher works. Subsidy publishing should be avoided.

Self-Publishing: With self-publishing, you act as your own publisher. This is a good option if:

1. You have a "niche" book that would only be of interest to a small market (i.e. A book on the history of your hometown, a book on shovel collecting, etc)
2. You have a strong understanding of how to market. You will need to write your own ad copy, press releases, etc. If you don't know how to market, you won't sell books.
3. Have a strong understanding of the process. Publishing involves more than typing up the story. There is proofreading, editing, book layout, cover art, even silly things like font choices, blurbs, etc. If you don't know how to do something, you will have to pay a professional to do it for you. Which brings me to...
4. Have a budget. Self-publishing costs money. Even if you use Lulu, which has no upfront costs, you will still have to spend money. You will have to buy copies of the book to send to reviewers. You will need to send comp copies to bookstores to encourage them to stock the book. You will have to buy advertising. If you need professionals, you will have to pay for them.

Answer 2

If the way you have written your question is any indication, I would suggest a great deal of work editing and proofreading before you ever approach an agent or a publisher. Beyond that, your first goal should be to send to agents and gain representation. A large number of publishers will not look at an unrepresented author. The key from the beginning is simple. Don't take no for an answer. If one tells you no, move on to the next and so on. If you believe in yourself and your abilities, stick to your goals.

Answer 3

Asking for help on something as easy as this is no way to get a book published...dude, look up companies yourself.

Seriously, I'm not trying to be rude, you need to understand that writing is a job as much as any other and you have to work hard to do it, nobody is going to take you seriously if you're lazy.

Answer 4

You can consult "Writer's Market" for companies which might publish unsolicited manuscripts, but those are actually rare. Otherwise, to be paid for your publication, you will need a literary agent willing to attempt to sell your manuscript to a publishing house. I wrote a novel and explored the various opportunities for selling it; when I sent it to a literary agent who had contacted me (I had registered my manuscript with the Library of Congress), she referred me to an editing company which seemed to me to be a scam; the man I with whom I spoke was hoping to charge me somewhat over $2500.00 to do a line by line edit of my novel. Since I really wanted my book published, when I received an offer from Xlibris to self-publish my story, I signed with them; the cost of self-publishing with them was by far the least expensive of the possibilities which I considered. There are pros and cons to self-publishing as might imagine. You must proof-read and edit your own work -- making editing changes once you have submitted your manuscript can be quite costly -- and you must undertake marketing it if you wish to sell the finished product, plus Xlibris charges prospective purchasers of your book rather exhorbitant prices. On the positive side, your book will never be out of print because they use digital technology and publish on demand; the resultant product is professional in appearance; they allow you a fairly extensive range of options as to style, font, dust cover, and format; and they register your book, establish your International Standard Book Number, and do all the "leg work" for you.
I hope that the above is helpful; I am still happy to have published my novel even though it is far from being a Best Seller!! Good luck with yours...

Answer 5

There are many companies who might accept a Writers work for publication', but it must be good, with no grammar nor spelling mistakes.

Answer 6

I think it would be unfair of me to suggest anything for you to follow up on. The reason is that the question you ask is so very childish, it is almost incomprehensible.
Did you ever hear of spell check? Grammar check?
Bone up on the basics and then ask your question.

Answer 7

Have you spellchecked and edited yet?

I am thinking of Trafford Press. I know many people who have published their books there.

Answer 8

you might want to make sure you spell-check your book . . .
