The 2019 Guide to Manuscript Publishers – 178 Traditional Book Publishers

About the book: One of the primary challenges authors face is finding the right publisher for their books. This book eases that challenge, by giving you detailed reviews of publishers that accept submissions directly from writers.

None of these publishers require agents, or require previous publishing experience. None of these publishers are vanity presses, self-publishing companies, or otherwise charge writers any money.

The reviews are organized by category, include detailed information about each publisher, as well as any red-flags that may exist for them.

The book also gives you a brief but thorough guide to submitting your manuscript. If you want more in-depth guidance on the topic, we recommend The Authors Publish Guide to Manuscript Submissions.
