Publishers Connect

This is an open invitation to publishers of all types and genres to join this group and upload information that may assist authors to this space. Be clear about what you offer readers, writers, and other literary professionals. Don't be shy . . . release your inner 4-1-1.

According to Dan Poynter, "Publishers tend to be helpful, friendly, and supportive - a wonderful group of people."

This is also a great venue for small pubs to gather and 'Fight the Power' so to speak. Share information and contacts that will expand your businesses.

No one listens to hacks like this. And for someone who is so "intolerant" he (or she) sure knows a hell of a lot about black comic superheroes.
