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.

Kim Wilson Comment by Kim Wilson on September 7, 2009 at 4:23am
Into my eyes you may think you see, but what you truly see
is truly me. I am weak. I do fold. I often crumble: but when I shout,
I am raised. Stroke 9 degrees into separation and the division lies;
Into my eyes.
Lifted up spirits favor reasons that are behind; Into my eyes.
Priorities raise questions that are my undertaking.
Why are you, Into my eyes.
Accusations flagrantly rationalize my unbeknownst;
Into my eyes.
Rights are wrong If you look deeply, Into my eyes.

I need a list of publishers who publish urban fiction manuscripts. If anybody knows of any, even if it’s just one, please send me the name or names. I’m trying to get a manuscript I completed this year published. Any other helpful information would be nice too.

About

Diane Diane created this Ning Network.

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
SPAMMING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
