I don't have any guides to the writers market or anything of the sort. Just the internet, and it's been bringing up a lot of dead ends and scams.

So here are my questions:

Are you in Canada?
Have you been published?
If not, are you looking to be?
Do you have a publishing company you have worked with before?
If not, is there one you are interested in getting accepted with?
What are some of the top publishing companies that are scams?
Do you know of any Canada-placed publishing companies that will accept unsolicited manuscripts?


I'm just looking for basic answers. Anything answered is a help. Even if your not from Canada, pitch in! I may learn something new.

Thanks In Advance.

Don't know if this will help.

I am going to use them as soon as I get my act together

I typed in Christianity and found a number of publishers that are looking for submissions....

some great resources, regardless of where you are, are the writer's market (2009 writer's market or 2009 novel and short story writer's market)and poet's market books (2009 poet's market). they come out every year and list possible publishers including how often they publish, fees, content/ style and all submission parameters. try writersmarket.com and writersdigest.com as well.

and yes, i'm canadian. important question: what do you write?

What I write is Fiction. I like dabbling into Fantasy so who knows.. I also like dabbling into Mystery as well, but mainly Fiction.

again, the writer's market books are great for helping you be strategic about where and when you're applying or submitting for your work to get published. and remember there's alway lulu, blurb or whatever for self-publishing. it really depends on where you are at as a writer (i.e. your stage of development), where you want to publish your work (i.e. the context - e.g. "religious", "secular") and what kind of writing you do (style as well as genre).
