Would you recommend publishing with Shadow Mountain Publishing? If yes then why and if not then why not? 3

Do you recommend using Shadow Mountain Publishing? If so, why, and if not, why not, and do you know a good editor?

I'm trying to publish my novel, but I don't know who to publish it with. No suggestions?

I haven't seen anything bad anywhere else. However, they are not on the list of preachers and publishers, so I wonder how long they have been open. When they are young, it is difficult to know what they are like. It's a good sign that he has a book on the NYT bestseller list.

But, candidates, don't just post. You have to submit your work and let them decide if they want to publish it. Do they publish the kind of book you want to publish? How much research did you do to find it?

So here you have more information:

First of all, he doesn't talk to anyone until the end of his book. Your incomplete and incomplete ideas and drafts are meaningless.

Second, all writers should know the law of yoga: money always goes to someone else. Any agent who asks for money first is a scam. Any publisher asking you for money in advance is either a scam or a source of arrogance, and often both.

1 / Write your book at a high level. Learn all about crafts. Allow yourself to be criticized by people who are not your friends, family or teachers. Let your ego break. Why ask when they say it's awful (and they will. All were first draft bangs). Ignore anything that says it's great, it doesn't work. Follow people's advice. Then rewrite everything. Hit it Rewrite Then edit and edit and edit. Repeat this process as many times as necessary until people criticize only the trivial, unimportant details.

Please note that grammar, punctuation, spelling or typographical errors are not acceptable in any manuscript you submit.

2 / Search. Very. Find jobs in the publishing industry. Once you know that everything is working, find an agent. That's what the author's market is for. Find an agent that matches your gender. Check your background to make sure it's correct. I suggest writing absolute for s with ■■. These people are really good. Also, find scams in the name of Google+ agents and see what people are saying. Then identify your questions and requests. Rejected. Often. I will just watch At some point, they may accept it. If so, go to step 3.

3 / You and your agent will likely make other changes and then he or she will assist you in the editor's interview. First, research editors apply and follow their query guidelines. And often rejected.

4 / If you are one of the lucky ones, you will be accepted. Limit editors will not ask you for money. In fact, they pay you in advance, and if your book sells well, you will receive royalties thereafter. If your book does not sell well, you will go ahead and lose the publisher. That's why it's so hard to find an editor. They are taking a huge financial risk by hiring you. It also means that they are very motivated to sell their book.

Publisher offers you: editing, cover artist, formatting, printing, marketing, copyright registration if in the US, ISBN and Z cost distribution.

The alternative is desktop publishing, but I don't recommend it unless you are a talented business person. Note that there are free options (or Amazon Kindle, for example) and of course many are cheaper. This alternative means you are alone. You do all the work. All marketing, all editing, cover (unless you buy additional options). They only print for you. Beware of hiding smog presses as print-on-demand and desktop editors (name the Google+ scam and ask people on Absolute Write). Remember that desktop publishing also means that you are unlikely to sell many books, if at all. This is a great option when you want just a few copies for your friends and family, or a small local project (like a story about your neighborhood or a book about your family's ancestors). Note that desktop publishing is not considered an editing credit. And you can't join a union of professional writers who constantly remind you that your work was not professionally selected. You will also have difficulty finding reviews of your book, as many bloggers, websites, and most magazines and newspapers do not have self-published book review guidelines. I recommend desktop publishing, especially if you are a young writer, because you still can't judge the quality of your book, and a low quality self-published book can ruin your writing career. Yes, because the publisher you meet will be 30 years old. years old. Search with a simple Google search.

I will live it I googled a complaint from Shadow Mountain Publishing and nothing more, just a hint that they have the book on the NYT bestseller list. this is awesome.

However, they understand that you can't just post with them. They have to submit their work for review and decide if they like it enough to publish it.

Get an agent. When you have to pay taxes, your royalty does not exceed ten percent. When you have an agent / editor, you are more likely to get another job.

I checked your website and it seems to be a trusted company. I think you should know what you're writing about, but make sure you follow the guidelines posted on your website.

Worst case: you deliver again (where you are going to send it).

Best Scene: You accept your request and publish your book :)
