Posted on | February 4, 2009 | No Comments
If your writing dream includes finding good romance publishers to give your book a chance, you have many options from which to choose. However, before you submit anything to anyone, there are some important things that you should do. Not only do you have to submit to the right publishers of the romance genre, you have to be sure your submission is up to par with the others they are getting. That means doing your research before you even think about going to the post office to send things out.
Romance publishers are just as picky as any other type of publisher. They want to see the right things or your book doesn?t have a prayer. You may want to invest in a book that talks about how to write a good romance, and that also gives you some of the secrets to making sure your manuscript is exactly as it should be. Formatting is important, and there are specific rules that romance publishers look for when getting manuscripts for review. You may have a really great book, but if they see problems before they read it, your book will be dead in the water immediately.
You also have to be sure that you are submitting to the correct romance publishers before you send anything out. Sending your book to the wrong company also means you will not stand a chance. This is when the book Writer?s Market is an essential. This is something all writers should buy each year. It?s a bit expensive, but it is worth every penny. This will tell you what each of the romance publishers are looking for, who to submit to, and if the company will take unsolicited manuscripts. If not, you just might have to go out and find a literary agent.
Publishers of romance are always looking for great, new authors. What you should realize is that your first attempt is probably not going to get published. Don?t let that deter you from your goal. You can take it and do a major revision, or store it away for later and start with a new idea. You will learn as you go, and if you are a good writer and don?t give up, you will find that some romance publishers will begin to take notice. It?s true that you may never get published, but you will feel better about yourself for having tried.
