What is the best means of finding a publisher to publish a book in the juvenile fiction genre?

titansfan38305 asked:


I am in the process of writing a juvenile fiction book. I would like to find a publisher, but really do not know where to start. There are so many websites and places on the internet, it is hard to know what are legitimate and what are not. I would like to find a publisher that I can be in regular contact with and not just communicating through impersonal emails.

    Letters will have to suffice to start.

    Get to “The Writer’s Handbook” to determine which publisher might be most interested and follow those guidelines

    Consider self publishing, taking your book peronally to every small bookstore you can find.. Call newspapers and ask if they’ll review it.. Go on local radio and television afternoon news programs, talking about your book telling people where they can get it ; bookstores and on-line, and finally, then contact a publishing house (perhaps one that publishes your favorite book of that genre,) tell them what you’ve done and ask then if they’ll look at it? I think they will.

    Run, don’t walk, to your nearest library and check out Writers’ Digest. It’s a listing of over 3,000 publishers, and tells you exactly what their requirements are, what they want you to submit, etc.etc.
    You can start by sending a one-page outline of your story (no, they won’t steal it) and enclosing a self addressed, stamped envelope so they can reply. If they are interested they will ask you for a couple of chapters. If they like them, they will ask for the whole book.
    A reputable publisher will give you a contract for your book, will pay all the costs associated with publishing and marketing, will edit and format your book, will design a cover, and will pay you a royalty.
    There are a lot of places around that offer to publish a book — only you pay the bill. The only think they do is publish the book. It’s up to you to do everything else, including marketing, which is almost impossible. So don’t fall for the vanity press schemes. It may take time to connect with a publisher, but it’s worth doing in the long run.
    Good luck to you
