Authors Asking
< back to questions

Q: "I am working on my first book on an unconventional subject. How can I know the probability that publishers will be interested in publishing my book?"

A: Andrew Johnson, Ph.D., Professor of Holistic Education, Minnesota State University, Mankato:

"Two ways that I've used: 1) Examine books that have a similar topic or theme. See who publishes them; 2) Good an internet search putting in your general topic and the word publisher. Get a sense for a company's mission and publishing market."
