On the home page of this website you will find a list of book publishers If you visit the websites listed the publishers usually give information on how best to approach them.

Please consider this carefully - publishers are approached many, many times. You need to find out how that particular publisher wants to be approached - whether with a summary, a full manuscript or through a literary agent. You also need to do some research to find the right publisher for you, see what authors and books they are currently publishing and decide on a short-list of presses to approach. You can also get the help of a literary agent who will make that short-list on your behalf and negotiate with publishers directly for you.
