For most people starting out, the biggest problem is what to write about, for others, it’s finding the time to write. Then you have those who have countless stories to tell, more than enough time to write, but no idea who to publish with.
Make no mistake, publishing companies do not have a one-size-fits-all policy. Submitting a genre or style of writing outside of their readership is not only a waste of their time, but yours especially. Among other things, it’s unprofessional and shows a lack of experience as a writer. A good author, or any author who’s serious about what he/she does, will take the time to research the companies they submit to. Otherwise, you’ll end up with no response, or a bunch of letters that “suggest you review some of their publications to get a feel for the type of literature they publish”…Something you should’ve taken the initiative to do from the get-go.
In light of this, I decided to take it upon myself to compile a list of Street Literature / Urban Fiction Publishers to give you a head start. Contact info has been listed as well.
Enjoy!
