Major New York Publishers |
|
This list, my friends, represents the Big Bad New York Publishing World. Yes, this
is it. Not as awesome as you might imagine, especially considering there are
a little more than a dozen major publishers nowadays. Do we believe that this list
represents the "end-all, be-all" of publishing? Of course not.
Independent Presses and Literary Magazines
offer alternative publishing opportunities for published and non-published
writers alike. But these Major Publishers, the New York Bad Boys, represent the part of publishing
that can’t be ignored—the churning indomitable black hole sucking in commercial
matter from every corner of the publishing universe.
The Major Publishers pay the hefty advances, rent space on tables in Barnes and Noble to
advertise their prized books, and whisk their rising-star authors around the
country on a fifteen city book tour—all in a frenzied, frantic push to sell, sell, sell
the most “units” of their newest release. For most
wannabe writers, this is the fantasy—our book in major bookchains, an author’s
tour, and of course, the six figure advance.
Well, good luck, god bless, and get yourself a damn fine literary agent. It is
a tiny, tiny, tiny publishing clique, and a literary agent will help bring you
into the popular crowd. We offer this list to educate you. We don’t offer this
list as a means for you to research the imprints in order to send off your
unsolicited manuscript straight into their slush piles. Please don’t do that.
You will regret it. Spend your time writing, revising, and finding a good
literary agent who will navigate the New York Publishing Big Boys for you.
