It's www.hipiers.com, and you want to look under "Publish online" (or is it "Publish on the web"?)<BR/><BR/>Anyway. It's a decent resource, but it's important to remember that Piers will print anything he's told, so not all the info is completely accurate. Still it's a good starting point. <BR/><BR/>Another thing you can do is find authors published with those presses and email them. I've gotten a few emails of that nature--I think most writers have--and we'll usually be very honest in that situation.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-71257336243758432152008-10-30T13:52:00.000-04:002008-10-30T13:52:00.000-04:00Along the same lines of the question you answered ...Along the same lines of the question you answered in today's post, what's the best way to unearth information about any given publisher's history with regard to their treatment of authors, how faithfully they honor contracts, how spotty their promotional record is, etc.? I can certainly look them up and ask around, but I suspect many authors are afraid to speak up when they feel mistreated, out of fear that their name will be mud in the larger industry. Are there resources, online or otherwise, that you can suggest? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-78058880138231511732008-10-30T09:38:00.000-04:002008-10-30T09:38:00.000-04:00Mr. Iriarte,I find myself in the same spot.

I had hoped to use NaNoWriMo as a jump-start, to get the first fifty thousand words written of my next project, but revising my last project has taken me longer than I anticipated, and it just doesn't make sense to spend November writing a new book when I have one finished and unsubmitted.José Iriartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653811568201804995noreply@blogger.com
