You will find it is next to impossible to publish poetry. It is not a big seller.
Prove it to yourself. Go to the biggest bookstore you know and ask to see the poetry section. After you dust the books off, count them. There won’t be many and most of them will be from established and old poets.
Now go to the New Fiction section and see how many books are there. About 50 times as many as poetry. Because they SELL.
Stores cost money to rent. A bookstore has to ration its selling space accordingly to what they can sell to meet their overhead. They simply cannot devote a lot of square footage to books they aren’t going to sell rapidly.
A high body count Dean Koontz thriller sells. Poetry doesn’t.
As for selling poems to magazines, let me explain it this way. Recently the Poet Laureate of the United States sold a five line poem to a magazine. He got a check for 25 dollars – 5 dollars per line. If that is all the Poet Laureate can get, how much do you think you could get? The answer is probably nothing. They would be published free.
If you want to self publish, you need to understand Uncle Jim’s Law “The money should flow TOWARD the author, not away from him.” In the case of Lulu and other self publishers, the money flows AWAY from the author and at a rather large clip. It will cost and cost and cost you. You will pay and pay and still your books will not be for sale on shelves in any bookstore in America. Unless you pay for an ISBN number, they won’t even be for sale on Amazon. And now, Amazon says they are removing all BUY buttons from books that aren’t self published by their subsidiary BookSource. They will only carry your book for sale if you pay them 29.99 annual fee, plus 55 % of your cover price, plus you have to purchase the books yourself from your own self publisher and mail them at your expense to Amazon so they will stock them. That will put most self published books in the red REAL fast. Especially if the average sales for a self published book is 100 copies – or roughly 2/3 of your family and friends. You will lose money big time.
And the question is, without paying for publicity and promotion, how is anybody going to know the book is out there to buy it? Nobody actually surfs Amazon looking for interesting books. You can’t. There are millions there.
I know that is not the answer you want to hear, but that is the cold, hard truth. Poetry is not a big seller. No major publishers are reading poetry so no agents are interested. They won’t bother with something they can’t sell. Sorry, but true, and a visit to your local bookstore will prove it to you. Pax-C
And by the way Steve, Literary Marketplace costs 300 dollars a year. I doubt many here can afford that. Use the copy in the library’s reference section. And Steve? I do not know of a single reputable agent that handles poets. There is no money in it for them. It just doesn’t happen.
There is no reason to think you won’t be published one day. You have already crossed one barrier by finishing your novels. Congrats on that!
Now is the time for research and to write more novels. You need to find out what genre your manuscript might fit into. Then find out what are the guidelines for that genre. The amount of words typically found in each genre vary greatly. As does, the POV that is used and style. You want your novel to be unique yet not so far outside of the realm of what is selling that you have little chance of being accepted. You must teach yourself about formatting novels and the procedures for submitting them.Plus, you must commit to working on new material because that is how you improve your craft.
I am not sure what publisher would work for you without knowing what kind of novel you have written. But at your age you have plenty of time to find the right publisher when your work is ready.
You must educate yourself fully about the publishing industry and then it will become clear to you where you should submit your novel.
Best of luck with your writing!
If you want to see proof of the benefits of self publishing, just look at the author of “Eragon”, Christopher Paolini. He wrote “Eragon” and self published it when he was 15. He said that he got lucky because he won an arm wrestling bet with a guy at the Medieval fair that he was trying to sell his book at. The bet was, if he won, the guy had to buy a copy. Well…as you probably know, the book is now a huge phenomenon, and a motion picture was made from it. Yes, this is a rare example of the possible success of self publishing, but a success nonetheless.
Self-publishing, though it had a rocky start, has actually become quite common for those who can’t find a publishing house to accept their work. Yes, you have to do some marketing yourself, but it is NOT true that no bookstores will sell your work, as has been suggested. You have to be careful, if choosing this avenue, to use a self publisher who uses “POD” or Print on Demand services because you are more likely to find bookstores willing to sell your work if they don’t have to buy 1000 copies. In fact, I’ve seen a few who actually work with online book sellers like Amazon.com because these types of places can place an order for 5 or 10 books, and you get royalties for any sale you make. It’s harder because you have to be a great marketing agent, and you have to pay for the service, but I know a lot of people who use this type of service as a jump off point to get their work out there.
Magazines like Writers Digest (you can find the online version at WritersDigest.com) actually have a contest devoted purely to self published books. Books from winners are given to a publishing house to be published. I think it’s Trafford Publishing, though I’m not sure. But, you end up with a publishing package that includes marketing and contract, so you get your foot in the door.
Publishing houses pay you a set amount of money (whatever is contracted) and give you royalties. The disadvantage for many is that it is almost impossible these days to have your work seen by a publishing house without having an agent first. By the time the agent takes their fees, you can wind up losing a hefty chunk as they market you and charge to send your work out. But, it’s pretty much the standard because publishing house editors are too swamped with work to deal with the millions of people who want to be writers but don’t want to bother putting in the effort to edit their own work (editors are there to polish edited work, not fix errors that anyone wanting to be a writer should be able to fix themselves). Unless the submission guidelines state that it is o.k. to send your work without an agent, your manuscript is rarely even glanced at before going into the garbage. They expect professionals to understand that, and to follow the rules. If you can’t follow a simple rule, how can you be expected to be a professional, right? An editor friend of mine said once that she has had to reject over 400 manuscripts in a day because the authors felt that they were above using an agent. That’s sad, because many of them probably had the talent. About one in one million manuscripts is actually found to be a gem, so…
I know quite a few people in my area who have used self publishing and they love it. They said that, though it costs money, it gives them the freedom to do what they want with their books. I’ve seen self published books donated by the authors to the local library and bookstores, who display them as works done by locals. This actually is a great marketing technique because the writer has placed a web site url in the back of the book, or even given an address or phone number to contact about information for buying. A few have said that they have made a decent profit doing it this way because they don’t have to pay agent fees…the profits are theirs to keep. Plus, they like that there is usually an in-house editor who goes over their work, just like with a publishing house.
The choice is yours, really. Your best bet is to do research on both rather than asking here because a lot of people on the Q & A sites go by what they hear rather than fact.
Excellence and experience both in literature and languages are needed to build a career in literary translation. Research publishing houses in the countries where your languages predominate. I’m guessing that the largest book publishers (Simon & Schuster, Random House) might offer the most opportunities, although you might find a smaller publisher specializing in literature in your native language.
In the U.S. you’ll find the most comprehensive listings of publishers in the “Literary Market Place” and “Writer’s Market” annual books. I think the UK has a similar one.
When you find some likely prospects, query them. What can it hurt? Tell them your educational background and credits and specialties.
Good luck!
A assistant manager of a publishing house is like a secretary of a Publishing manager.
You help the manager handle things being published or do tasks like issuing printed matter for sale or distribution depending on what topic.
HOPED I HELPED(^_^)
Tip: You kind of need to live in New York to get a job at one of the big publishing houses.
Entry-level positions, other than those you mention, include go-for (people who do whatever they’re told) and secretaries who answer phones file things and type.
A Masters degree is a plus. If you get a job (as a go-for for instance) and you can write – your writing has a good chance of getting read after you make friends and seem to have some potential.
If it’s a reputable publisher, yes. Often, they only ask for it for their record keeping or to be sure you are not a spammer. If they send you anything, it’s likely they would send marketing materials such as what their various imprints are or what books they are publishing this year. They may also send you whatever information you requested if it isn’t suitable for email. Living in another country is not a problem (and might even reduce the amount of marketing materials since postage costs a little more)..
You can check the reputation of any publishing company or literary agency on the Preditors & Editors website or the Writer Beware log. The group absolutewrite.com/forum also maintains a background check subforum where you can look for information.
I’m guessing here that you mean MiraBooks?

You are very smart to avoid self publishing (vanity press).
Professionals in publishing avoid self published authors like the plague.
Go to a library and see if they have a copy of the 2009 Writer’s Digest Guide to writers…it lists publishers and editors who accept unsolicited manuscripts.
And yes, i am a published poet.
I’ve never had anything published, but my guess is that this is a pretty good thing. I think that pretty much every author has to make some form of a change to their book or novel before it is published- it’s part of the good editing process. They want your book to be the best that it can be, and to be as successful as it can be. I would not be afraid to make the changes. My guess is that if they are asking for a few changes, they are to help convey the message of the book more clearly and to improve the quality in more than one area. I would say that your chances are pretty good still if you make the appropriate changes. Even if they aren’t perfect, if you get close you and an editor will be able to perfect them before publication.
How do I find an address for a publishing house called Mirra Books?
I am a novelist specializing in spice/fiction and am trying to find out how to go about having their publishing house view my manuscript.
Publishing house?
I’m 15, and have written a few books. I think they might be good enough to publish, but I need to find a publishing house. I have a feeling that newer publishing houses might work better than older ones, but I just don’t know! I would love any advice there is to offer…and if there are any people from publishing companies reading this…my email is ahsoccerplayer2000@yahoo.com!
Thanks for you time.
If a publishing house says they are interested in my novel, but need some changes, what are my chances?
A major publishing house told my agent they are interested in my novel, but that they would like me to address some concerns with the novel first. Essentially, they’d like to see me make an effort at revising my work with the changes in mind. Do major publishing houses do this often? What are my realistic chances of getting published now?
Publishing House?
I am a poet and I am looking for a publisher. Does anyone know of a good & credible publishing house?
Can you recommend me a publishing house which is willing to take on new literary translators?
Getting into literary translation is famously difficult and although I have done many small jobs already I am looking for a publishing house which would be willing to give me a chance to work for them on a longer assignment (a novel rather than a short story). Any tips you can provide would be much appreciated ( I translate from/ into English).
What is the difference between a publishing house and self-publishing?
I am planning on publishing my novel that I have been working on. What are the advantages of self-publishing? Shold I get a publishing house to so it instead?
Does anyone have any credible websites or publishing house info I could use?
I’m trying 2 get my poetry publish in book form. I’m emailing back and forth with a couple self-publishing houses but I want 2 have more choices and possibly do a straight publishing through a publishing house company and not self publishing. Thank you in advance.
What does the assistant manager of a publishing house do?
I will be interviewing for a position at a publishing house tomorrow for the position of assistant manager. I want to be very prepared so I want to know the exact duties of an assistant manager in a publishing house.
Any answer will help.
Thank you.
Is it safe to give home address to publishing house sites while sending the manuscript or any question?
i’ve written a fantasy fiction and i live in india. but i want to publish it through one of london’s or america’s publishing house. so i go to their sites but everywhere they ask my home address. is it safe to give it?
What kind of jobs are available within a publishing house/company?
I understand that there are editors and sales managers, but what other positions are there usually in a publishing company/house? And which ones are entry-level for someone with a Masters in a degree such as Professional Writing?
Any tips on getting the job are great, too.
Thanks!
