|
How do I write to an author? |
|
You should send your letter to the author in care of our publicity department at the address above. Unfortunately, we cannot forward e-mail to authors, nor can we give out authors' e-mail or postal addresses. |
|
How do I submit my manuscript to Random House? |
|
Like most big publishers, Random House only accepts manuscripts submitted by an agent--the volume of materials we receive is just too large to accept unsolicited submissions. There is an excellent listing of literary agents in a book called The Writer's Market, which you should be able to find in a local bookstore or library. You can also visit their website at http://www.writersdigest.com for more information. |
|
If I describe my book in an e-mail message, can you tell me if you want to look at it? |
|
Sorry, no. We do not accept queries via e-mail or otherwise. |
|
Can you recommend an agent for my work? |
|
We do not make agent recommendations. If you are looking for an agent, a good resource to start your search with is The Literary Market Place. |
|
Can you tell me more about how to get published? |
|
Many people write to us for advice on getting published. It is a complicated process, and also a lengthy one. The best thing you can do is learn as much as you can about how publishing actually works. One of the best resources for information on publishing is your local library. There, you should be able to find books that explain the publishing process from beginning (coming up with an idea) to the middle (submitting your work/finding an agent) to the end (seeing your book in print). If you are ready to submit your work, there are also books which will help you select suitable publishers and agents to approach. Ask your reference librarian for suggestions. You will also want to look at the following:
- The Literary Market Place: A large reference book that lists publishers and agents.
- The Writer's Market: A book that lists publishers and agents and provides some basic information on the publishing process.
- Publisher's Weekly: the magazine for the publishing industry.
- Writer: a magazine for writers which often has publishing information.
