Canadian Fantasy Book Publishers: A Guide to Finding the Right Publisher
Finding the right publisher for your fantasy book can be a challenging task, but there are several strategies that can help you identify the best publishers for your book.
Research publishers: Look for publishers that specialize in fantasy literature and have a strong track record of publishing successful fantasy books. Research their authors, the books they have published, their reputation and their distribution channels.
Check submission guidelines: Each publisher has different submission guidelines, so it's important to check them before submitting your manuscript. Make sure that the publisher is accepting unsolicited manuscripts in the fantasy genre, and follow the guidelines for format, length, and content.
Look for publishers that are accepting unsolicited manuscripts: Some publishers only accept submissions from literary agents, while others accept unsolicited manuscripts from authors directly.
Check the publisher's distribution channels: Make sure that the publisher has strong distribution channels in place to get your book in front of as many readers as possible.
Look for a publisher that is a good fit for your book: Consider the publisher's mission, what type of books they publish, and what is the target audience they are looking to reach. It is important that the publisher aligns with the themes, genre and target audience of your book.
Ask for recommendations: Connect with other fantasy authors in Canada and ask for recommendations on publishers they have worked with in the past.
