Does anyone know who the best publishers are to approach, as Authorhouse and others want money upfront and i dont have that available. Do you know who best would be interested without any initial fee's.

Darling - PLEASE spend a bit of time reading some Resolved Questions or some of todays questions. This has been answered 40 times this week and its only Wednesday. "Self Publishers are mostly scams." Buy yourself a copy of Writers Market - even a used old one - learn how to write a query letter. Query agents. And for God's sake, if this is not a memoir, do not present it as one. Mr. Frey tried that once and look what happened to him. Major publishing houses deal with AGENTS not AUTHORS. If it is worth it and you write a good query letter,an agent will represent you. C.

You should never have to pay anyone to publish your book or to read it - never pay an agent a "reading fee."
Get a current copy of Writer's Market and go from there. Do your homework, like most writers do when researching where to publish their work.

Check a publisher in NYC, think it is called Grove or St. Martin publisher.

No reputable publishing house would have you pay them anything for your book. Unless it wasn't accepted.

See if you can find any literary agents, if you can. They would be much more able to help you. They will take a percentage of the gross, but at least you'll have a gross to take it from.

only what i spotted on a rapid examine-by way of: •you turn tenses - interior the initiating you assert "lies on her back" yet then pass to "grow to be enjoying." it may be extra appropriate if it have been "lay on her back" or "enjoying." •you employ a similar sentence initiating two times in a row-"there grow to be" •"in the barn, the place the stalls have been, grow to be a welcoming place." that's a clumsy sentence. • rather of having yet another finished sentence, make it "Gypsy, the astounding Arabian horse, grow to be unsleeping and able to pass exterior" •decrease the comma out of the final sentence of that paragraph. • replace this "Tessa grabbed the black halter and lead rope, and positioned it on Gypsy’s head" to "Tessa positioned the black halter and lead rope on Gypsy's head" or "Tessa grabbed the black halter and linked lead rope so as to place it on Gypsy's head." •interior the final paragraph, you on no account point out the place they're "drawing closer" to. •you assert "small whinny" plenty, and it would not make plenty experience. • Take the commas out of the third-to-final and final sentence. • The final sentence ought to be stronger. It would not ecnd with a number of of a bang, and "one and purely elegance' would not make experience. that's an ok tale. It would not have a number of of an unquestionably plot to it, or maybe a number of of a factor. i in my view do in contrast to sappy horse memories like this. have you ever actual ridden (better than as quickly as)/taken care of a horse? would not sound like it. Sorry if I sound recommend, yet it is extra of an essay than a narrative and this variety of tale annoys the hell out of me besides.
