I have read several tips on how to choose a publishing house to submit your manuscript to . And they all concerned more or less the same points: studying the catalog of published books, understanding whether they ask for contributions from the author, avoiding large publishing houses. The editorial line of a publishing house certainly needs to be evaluated. You can't send a mystery to a publisher who only publishes essays, or poems to one who has clearly written that poems have no market. So first you will need to see what type of publications that publishing house produces.
Paid publishing – or printmaking, as I call it – is the dark side of the publishing world. It's like asking for money from someone who did a job for you. But there has been enough talk about this, too much too. However, it is one of the pieces of advice given: check whether the publishing house does not ask for contributions, asks for them or is double-track. Small and Special Data medium-sized publishing is preferable to large, since the giants of Italian publishing publish well-known names and are so inundated with manuscripts that hoping to be read is practically impossible. But has anyone thought about editing ? Would you ever publish your novel with a publishing house that produces dull, pitifully written books, full of mistakes, where it is clear that there was no editing or even proofreading behind it ? I've come across books like this.
Full of grammatical errors. Of typos. With confusing periods. Either there wasn't any editing or, if there was, the editor didn't know his work. Before sending a manuscript, therefore, get to know that publishing house . And to get to know her there is only one way: buy her books. Read them. If they disgust you, due to the way they are "packaged", you can always sell them or give them away. If, however, they have fascinated you, if you have read a flowing text, a story that stands up, well-studied and natural dialogues, then this is the publishing house for you.
