Publishing agent for a new book

BIG_MIM

Hi.
We are currently developing a new book that we would like to be published.
Our idea is coming together but we are unsure where to look or who to trust when it comes to publishing.
Just wondered if anyone here has had any success or failures which could help us get the best from our first published venture

Thank you

Tony

You could try googling, there's a ton of info out there on't't'interweb.

You could also try amazon. They help people to self publish, very successfully, on their site. Go on their site and do a search.

(Although, quite honestly, I feel quite dirty recommending Jeff Bezos!)

Good luck!

Be very wary of any company that says they want to publish your book and asks for money in exchange for marketing or similar.

If nobody is willing to pay you for the right to publish then Amazon is probably a better idea.

Thank you both for your advice and suggestions. We hadn't thought to look on Amazon so will look into that whilst researching further.

This

This book has published annual editions for uyears and is very reputable.
