New way to find a publisher for your book:
This week has seen the launch of a brand new way of finding a publisher for your writing.
If you've been writing for any length of time you'll know how difficult it is to get a publisher – and how long it can take to find suitable ones to submit to. There are books you can buy with lists of publishers, or you can go down to your local library, but then it's a case of trawling through hundreds of inappropriate listings just to find the dozen or so that might look promising.
We've all been there – the hours, evenings, whole days that disappear into searching those books – that's all time you could (and should) be spending writing. Most writers, whether published or not, continue to have a "day job", and for most it's a struggle to fit their writing in (over 18 per cent of people who cancel their subscription at firstwriter.com cite a lack of time as the reason), so the last thing you want to be doing is spending time searching for a publisher, instead of creating something for them to publish.
That's why firstwriter.com has created the Publishers Database – to allow you to find just the right publisher to take on your work, and at the same time give you your time back to write and polish your masterpiece to perfection. You can create a custom list of publishers matching your requirements at the push of a button – doing the work of hours in a matter of seconds!
Our search facility gives you all the tools you need to zero in on the publishers you're looking for, allowing you to be as broad or as specific as you want: on the one hand you can browse it like a print listing, or just search for all the fiction publishers listed; or on the other you can search for publishers of fiction, romance, and humour, in the United States only, with annual turnovers greater that $1 million a year, who publish more than 100 titles a year, are not refusing new material, and who are not known to be unfriendly to unsolicited manuscripts – or anything in-between! You can ask to see only publishers who have an email address listed, or website, telephone, or fax number, and even specify between which years they were founded (if that really bothers you!).
What's more, because the database is online it isn't restricted by space in the way that traditional print listings are: details can be spaced out and formatted so that they are easier to read, and more information can be included. Listings can also be more up-to-date – on our other databases there are instances of errors being reported by users and the correct details being researched and posted on the site within 24 hours! That's compared to print listings that are compiled weeks or months before publication, and are expected to last for a full year.
Our database also brings you other features not possible on a traditional print listing, like the user feedback feature. This allows users to post comments regarding their experience with a particular publisher, which is then included in the listing, providing a unique and valuable writer's perspective on the companies listed.
