Self-Publishing Can Make the Dream Come True
Self-publishing is gaining popularity all over the world. Once there was a stigma attached to self-publishing. It was believed that people published their own books because they were not good enough for a "real" publisher. That line of thought is wrong! In the next decade, as computer technology improves and trade publishers become even more dollar driven, more and more of our reading material will come from author-publishers. A whole niche is opening up for writers who are willing to do it themselves. For many it has become a chosen option.
Publishers
Writers are advised to ensure their manuscripts conform to publishers' guidelines before sending out their work. Target your submissions to publishers who have a history of producing titles similar to your manuscript. The Canadian Publishers Directory can be found at your local library, and it contains contact and submission information. Most Canadian publishing houses have a web presence—check out book lists and submission guidelines at their websites. If a publisher doesn’t publish illustrated picture books for kids or cookbooks or travel guides or mysteries or whatever, you’re not about to convince him to change his publishing program. Spend some time in bookstores looking at books and book covers that appeal to you and read book reviews published in Books in Canada, BC Bookworld, Quill and Quire, national newspapers and literary review publications.
Canadian Publishers' Council
A trade association of English-language publishers which represents the domestic and international interests of member companies. Members publish books and other media for general interest fiction/non-fiction, school, post-secondary and professional/reference markets including law and medicine. Members represent approximately 75% of total annual sales to the Canadian domestic market.
Associate of Canadian Publishers (ACP)
The Association of Canadian Publishers (ACP) represents approximately 135 Canadian-owned and controlled book publishers from across the country. The membership is diverse and includes publishers from a variety of genres. Over 80% of Canadian-authored titles are published by the Canadian-owned sector.
