How To Find A Publisher
The million-dollar question for the beginning author is:
“How do I find a publisher?”
So if you write poetry, novels, short stories or non-fiction books, this book is a must - if you are interested in success. You simply have to know how to contact a publishing company. A publishing company must be highly interested in you - from the first moment on!
The good news: it is just a matter of know-how in how to find a publisher. And yes, your approach has to be different from other authors!
In fact, there are very exact steps you have to do when you approach a publisher. Those steps guarantee success. As soon as you do those steps, the fat publisher who says “no” to a skinny, hungry author is really only a caricature then.
This book contains 200 pages of know-how revealing how to find a publisher. It works like a bomb. And it is much less complicated then you would think.
This book answers all your questions:
♦ How to make a breakthrough in the field of writing
♦ How publishers really think and how they choose one manuscript over another
♦ How editors and chief editors evaluate a manuscript and why they like some authors and not others
♦ How you can create an irresistible exposé for a book to which a publishing company just cannot say “no”
♦ How to approach a publishing company (and certainly not by just sending in your manuscript)
♦ Where you can create “hot” connections
♦ What six prominent publishing experts advise on how to start a relationship with a publishing company
♦ How much it is possible for you to earn in the beginning.

HOW TO FIND A PUBLISHER
To be quite blunt, I write this booklet in pure desperation. I am desperate because I am asked repeatedly by acquaintances of writers (be it their friend or a young author they know) to find or arrange a publisher for their manuscript. Young authors send me their finished or half-finished work and ask me to help them get in touch with certain publishers that I have already a good connection with, just because they published my work. I will then read their lines, and amongst them I will often find wonderful things such as poems that touch my heart and create a beautiful vibe within me. At times they are lovely short stories, novels, or non-fiction. And I am desperate because I cannot help. I would love to tell these authors so many things, but due to lack of time it is simply impossible. I would delight in giving a five-hour speech about the book market and its chances, principles of success in general, and other specific aspects - but where is the time for all this?
I always tremble a bit with these authors, who confidently put their whole fate in my hands. I tremble because twenty years ago it was no different for me. I loved to make up stories and typed the wildest accounts on a small, old-fashioned typewriter; I penned tales about Indians and spaceships, or created soulful poems I thought would (at least) give me fame the world over - but the only person who liked my poems was my mother. And my mother of course was prejudiced; that much I knew. My mother liked everything I did, but mothers are naturally always prejudiced when they observe the products and efforts of their offspring - which of course is a good thing. This is the beauty of mothers. When baby lets out a little fart, mom is in glee for the next two hours. But publishers aren’t mothers. I needed a professional to tell me: “Listen, boy, the stuff you are fabricating here is worth something! We may have to change a thing or two, but basically we can print this book - you’ve got talent!”
This is how I imagined the case to be. The problem, however, was that no publisher ever uttered those relieving words. Today I know why not a single publisher or editor took hold of my stories. To be quite blunt here, it is for the better. The stuff I wrote at the time, and in which I invested my heart and soul, wasn’t worth much. I was no young Shakespeare, whose genius was out of this world, and whose wit and humor were somewhere in the stars. At the time, I became angry each time I was turned down. No one took me by the hand and told me, “You know, you simply go about some things entirely the wrong way. You are missing the know-how. Change points one, two, three, and four - try again - and you will be successful. Maybe not from the get-go, but at least there is some chance for success.”
No one gave me professional advice despite my real desire to write. I was missing the knowledge.
Maybe I can help other young authors with this booklet. Nowadays, it happens that the young authors come to me, because I wrote some bestsellers and they want to know from me how “it” is done. They think that I “figured it out” and that I have “relationships” and “connections.” And when one comes across a person with the right contacts, one only needs to ask nicely and the whole thing runs smoothly - so they think. Now, quite apart from the fact that these ideas are out of tune with reality, and that even John Grisham himself couldn’t pawn off a lousy manuscript on a publisher, I still suffer somewhat with these authors. Some time ago I was stuck in the same situation. However, I truly do not have the time to share my whole knowledge in portions over and over again. It is for this reason that I write this book so others can gain from my experience.
“Knowledge,” by the way, always includes two aspects. On one hand, “knowledge” means basic know-how, how to do things, how to proceed. On the other hand, one must assume that if something doesn’t work, one has been fed false information; sometimes one is filled with it. I will cover both aspects in this book as one can only truly learn if one also knows in which areas one is backwards.
But first of all I would like to let you know: I understand you! I really understand you! Perhaps you have already written a manuscript and there exists no publisher who would bring out the immortal work that is so important to you in a bound book. Again, I understand you and will do my best to give you advice that sheds some light on this and may show you a way to survive this jungle. Personally, I know of nothing more important than to lavish care and attention on this little flower called “imagination” that one feels growing inside. This little plant can die so easily and wither, whereby the most important part of man dies - his dreams. This much I would like to say: continue to write! Don’t let yourself be stopped by anything or anybody, just because some smart-alec informs you in writing that they are not interested in your manuscript. The pleasure of creation and the fabrication of an illusion are far more valuable than all your life insurances, inheritances or paychecks. It is the imagination that embraces your life and your dreams. If you let your imagination whither, you die to some degree. Never ever let this happen. Write. Keep your dreams. After one failure start two new enterprises!
On the following pages, I will explain to you in detail how to go about it. But don’t let anybody or anything get you down. Continue! The best businesses all started small, and at times crawled in the mud and cursed the world, including all the publishers and editors. Yes, the best! Or did you already know how it all really started for the exceptionally successful authors, whose books have sold 100 million times so far?
