I really don’t know.
But if u’re a publisher, like me, I advice you http://www.lulu.com
I do publish books, audio video files, calendars and artworks for free!!!!
Only when I sell an item, they take a very small fee.
It’s the best self publishing site.
Yes, they are listed in those places. You’ll have to check their submission guidelines – look at their website. “No unsolicited manuscripts” in the listings usually means “get an agent”, but occasionally means “Send us a letter about your book and why it’s the best thing since Gone with the Wind, and we might ask to see the manuscript – at which point, it’s not unsolicited.” If you can’t find submission guidelines on their website, that means they want you to submit through an agent.
Is there any particular reason why you don’t want to go through an agent? Unless your book is very specialised and has narrow appeal, you’re limiting your options for getting it published. That’s hard enough as it is, without imposing any more restrictions on yourself.
Check out absolutewrite.com and look under the Writer Bewares and Background checks. You’ll find the legitimacy of some publishers being discussed. Read the whole discussion, because some people have had experiences with certain publishers and they’ll tell you their experiences. Mostly, there will be small publishers taking unagented manuscripts or unsolicited queries. The big publishers are unlikely to take unagented anything. Tor, the largest publisher of sci-fi is taking unsolicited manuscripts; they also publish fantasy and, I think, Romance. You can check out their site to make sure of the genres. Harlequin, the largest publisher of romance accepts unsolicited manuscripts. These are exceptions when it comes to mid-sized publishers. You’ll be hard pressed to find a large publisher taking any. You’ll find that most publishers taking unsolicited manuscripts or queries will be small presses, and they might be worth going with.
If you want to find out then you need to check the publisher’s website. That’s where you’ll find the most up-to-date information.
Penguin, one of the big six publishers, is temporarily taking manuscripts. Here is a link to my very real question asking if anyone is going to submit to them (I say this because my first question about it got reported and deleted for not being a question, but I appealed and got it restored because it really is a legit question – and they agreed and apologized).

You are just waisting your money and time. You are paying for advertising to make maybe some money.
The most successful business to be in, is most definitely in health and anti aging. For less than $200.00 and a great deal of motivation and vision and work, you could have your very own home based business and you could be earning more than you have ever earned and it is also residual, which would free up your time.
Darling,
I think that is the very problem to the writer, tell me what kind of book you are writing?
If you want a publisher in you cowntry, I can’t help you, but in Brasil, maybe I can try…
Good luck.
In my opinion these guys just made you a quasi-offer IF you can expand the novella and keep it moving they would obviously consider it for publication. You received TWO extremely complimentary letters telling you they want to see more of your work. I bet you could do a couple of chapters and an outline and submit it and maybe get a small contract from them at least. Somebody wants your work…act on it. You could send it off to a few more pub. houses but, I’d be working on expanding it while I waited for replies. Just ask yourself…can you name 3 novellas published in the last year. People want pages for their dough.
I have been writing for 75 years and have used all of these activities except getting a literary agent . During that time I have made $25 so you decide .

Response to unsolicited novella?
A few months ago I sent a manuscript into a well-known Australian publisher. It’s my first novel, and I sent it without having had it considered by an agent. I didn’t really have any expectations, and I know how rare feedback (and even acknowledgment) can be…so I was pleasantly surprised when I received a letter a few weeks later from an editor:
Thank you for sending ‘The Decay Theory’ for our consideration. While we highly comment your writing ability, I am afraid this would not be right for the more general list we are developing, so we are unable to make you an offer of publication. Unfortunately, novellas tend not to have strong support in what is, anyway, a tough marketplace for fiction and we felt this work would not find a broad enough audience for us to be enthusiastic about publication.
You have a lovely feel for prose and poetry in your work, and we would be happy to see further material in the future. (You could also consider developing this to become a longer work.)
And then, a week later, an email from the same publishing assistant:
‘While we ended up deciding that your manuscript is not right for us, I wanted you to know that we did consider it carefully. It was looked over by one of our publishers, who thought that the writing was strong and the plot was great.’
It was my first shot at the publishing industry, so I am obviously thrilled–but where to go from here? I don’t know whether to re-draft and make it into a longer work, as the letter suggested, or send it off to a few more publishing houses first.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any suggestions?
(The novella isn’t really for a niche market–it’s just a fictional story set in Melbourne, where I live.)
How to sell mobile technology assets?
The company that I’m working at is planning to sell its assets (a social networking site and a java app publisher)
Does anyone have tips on identifying/finding potential buyer who might be interested in these technologies? Besides buybusiness.com, do you recommend any other “marketplace” site?
Where can I hire a writer?
What’s the best site for finding really good writers? The kind that could write great feature articles for major publications?
I’m envisioning some sort of online marketplace where freelance writers can browse RFPs, post their resumes and connect with publishers. Does anything like that exist? Elance looks too general and CraigsList too local, but maybe I’m wrong about those.

If I’m looking for a publisher how do find one’s that accept unsolicited queries?
I was looking through the Literary Marketplace and it doesn’t really say if the publishers listed accept queries. Though I know I could go online and find out, is there another listing or way to know if a publisher accept unsolicited queries so you could send your manuscript in for a look?
