Finding the write publisher

[aztech4eva]

Friends,
I have completed my script and wish to get it published...sent it to a lot of publishers around the world and have got only rejection. Once I got a mail that they wish for my manuscript but soon they changed their minds saying they are currently not looking for fantasy and fiction.
Please suggest me some nice publishers or literary agents.

I meant the right publisher....need to get some sleep. It's 1 in the morning over here.

It's not easy, I'll tell you that right up front. One thing that the Internet has given us -- aside from Twitter, which is wonderful for wasting time that should be spent writing -- is a way to have more up-to-date listings of publishers and agents. Used to be that writers had to depend on print editions of the Writer's Market Guides and such, and those could be inaccurate by the time they hit the bookstores. Now all we have to do is Google (or whatever your search engine of choice) "publisher" and "fantasy" and "submissions" to see who buys what, and if they're open to new authors. Do the same but substitute "agent" for "publisher" if you want to go that route. (Many publishers don't accept any unagented submissions.)

I used Jeff Herman's Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, and Literary Agents when I was going this route. I spent dozens of hours highlighting, taking notes, deciding who would be a good fit, with second choices, tertiary choices, etc, and then I was just like, "Nah, I'm going to do it myself."

Still, it's a good resource. And you know ahead of time if they're into fantasy or not.

Also, there's this blog on WritersDigest.com: www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/guide-to-literary-agents

I posted this elsewhere in Mythic Scribe's forum, but I'll repost it here.

My publisher, Gryphonwood Press is accepting submissions through June 2013.

You can find more infomation via my blog at this link: Info on Gryphonwood Press Open for Submissions June 2013

Maybe it'd be a good opportunity for you, Aztech4eva.

I have had a lot of trouble finding an agent for my book as it's Mythological Historical Fantasy, but they deem it too religious, even though it's about the Annunaki and Serpent Cult
