Finding the Right Publisher

If you are a writer, or author, and want to publish your book, who can you turn to for help? Many traditional publishers do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. This means, you must have an agent before a publishers will even consider reading your manuscript. Yes, there are a few companies who take unsolicited manuscripts, but it is not as easy as you may think to publish your first book!

Finding the right publisher is extremely important for you, as the author. And that, is not as easy as it sound either. I spent days and days searching the web for the right one for me. I called many agents, browsed their web sites, talked to them over the phone, and then thought long and hard before i made my decision. I decided my best choice would be a self publishing company. I even drove for 5 hours to an appointment with them, discussed my book and all the options available for my book. I made my mind up right then and there that I liked them. SO I paid my fees and the deal was made.

After 6 weeks, I knew I had made the wrong choice! It took about 6 more weeks for my refund  approval. But I had already found a better choice. You know, just because a company is big and impressive doesn't necessarily  mean they are the best on the market!

I found a new, up and coming publishing company with extraordinary talent, friendliness, and helpful advice. I receive big time benefits with small town attention and detail. Who, you might ask, is my publisher? Sakura Publishing. so far, I am thrilled with my new choice! Now, please let me know which logo you like better. My publisher votes for the 2nd one. But I kind of like this one. But I like the 2nd one too! Vote for me, okay? Which one is the best?

I love the red and black "B's" and how they look like a butterfly. I also love the bold colors. The design seems to say, "Follow you dream, no matter where it takes.

This one seems a bit softer, more elegant and quiet. There is a simple elegance to this design.This design seems to say, "Your book is beautiful. Watch it bloom with your dreams."
