I agree with Maria - better to ask one of the authors published with them.<br />Good luck with your search!Cate Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371792447604980848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-70308026051984167162012-03-13T19:04:19.194-04:002012-03-13T19:04:19.194-04:00Good luck with your search!

I find different publishers, then buy some books in my genre and see how they did. Several ebook publishers I found reputable and plan on querying when the time comes, and two that I would never submit to. I believe it was definitely a good investment of my time and money.Ava Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404716744982870650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-59954702951026751782012-03-12T08:52:39.772-04:002012-03-12T08:52:39.772-04:00This is where networking comes in handy.
