Over the past few years, I have reviewed a publisher almost every week for Authors Publish Magazine. Some of these publishers are nearly household names like Chronicle Books and Bloomsbury, others are new, fledgling companies still trying to figure out their identity. Many of the publishers fall between these two extremes.

All of the publisher reviews contained in this guide have been published before on Authors Publish, however the reviews have never before been organized in this manner or gathered in one easy-to-search place before.
