Hello bushman91-ga!

I love writing and have completed courses on writing for children. I'm
also a member of SCBWI (The Society for Children's Book Writers and
Illustrators). Would you let me know what your book is about
(generally -- what age range is it for? What is the basic theme? Is it
a specific genre -- a mystery? Romance? Adventure? etc.)?

I'd love to list some publishers and editors and their contact
information for you as I am familiar with quite a number of them. I
also know a few people who have published independently -- did you
also want listings for E-Book publishers along with independent and
mainstream presses?

Thanks for the extra information, I'm looking forward to getting you
the information you seek.

Sincerely,

Filian

Hi Filian-ga,
the book is written from the view of a 17year old male. He  looks back
over the last eight years of his life and how he has grown while
watching his grandfather grow old and ultimately die.
His grandfather was his main father figure during these years. With
the help of the grandfather's diaries,journal and letters the grandson
sees his grandfathers life from a different view and how it relates to
his own life.

Although the book has quite a few adventurous themes, the grandfather
was a Mountaineer and fought in WW2. It is  a sad storey that looks at
how people handle death and growing up.

I have had a large age group read it, with the youngest around twelve.
I originally aimed at 14-17year old boys, but have realised that to be
that specific I miss out on what would be my largest audience and that
is the girls.

The book runs for about 55,000 words, or around 150-170 pages.

i hope this makes it a bit easier.

regards
Simon

Hello bushman91--

I have conducted a detailed search for you and have your answer.

I searched the Writers Market database of current book publishers.
This database is widely considered the most up-to-date and best in the
industry. I purchased a subscription to the service in order to
conduct this research.

You may visit this Writers Market web site at
http://www.writersmarket.com

I searched for any book publishers that specialize in either juvenile
or young adult book publishing. Below are the results.

Request for Answer Clarification by bushman91-ga on 14 Apr 2003 23:00 PDT
Hi Darrel,
what can i say. Fantastic results, I can well imagine how much time
you have taken and i feel that given the question that I asked I have
to and want to pay you the fee.
I did neglect one aspect of the question. That is, Australian
publishing houses.

How can I pay you and still have my question answered?
regards
Simon

Hello bushman91~

Congrats on your book! As the author of a dozen books, I know well how
satisfying it is to finish and manuscript--and how exciting it can be
to track down a publisher.

However, nobody can give you a really good answer to your question,
because we'd have to know your book quite intimately in order to name
good publishers/editors for it.

Despite the fact that hundreds (thousands!) of publisher sell "young
adult" or teen novels, each house tackles them a bit differently. Each
publisher has their own list of wants regarding style, length, theme,
characters, etc. Therefore, *you* are really the best person to find
editors who'll be interested in your book.

So, how do you go about finding editors who will  be interested in a
book of your length, style, theme, etc.? First, go to a great
bookstore (new books, not used) and check out the young adult/teen
section. Hopefully, you are very familiar with and have read a lot of
books in this genre already, so make note of which publishers seem to
prefer books that are similar to yours (have a female protagonist--or
male, as it may be; are of a similar length; have a similar theme,
etc., etc., etc.)

Then buy yourself a copy of the 2003 Writer's Market (you can get it
at any good bookstore, but here's Amazon's listing:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/158297120X/qid=1049758891/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-0576340-0263956
). If your library has the new edition, that will work, too, as long
as you can check it out or spend long hours at the library with it.
Don't use an out-of-date copy, since names and contact information
change very frequently in the publishing industry. Also be sure to
aquire The Writer's Guide To Book Editors, Publishers, & Literary
Agent's for 2003-04. (Again, a good bookstore should have it, but
here's Amazon's listing:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0761537457/qid=1049758980/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-0576340-0263956
) The latter is particularly useful for unearthing the correct editor
for your particular book.

So, with these two volumes in hand, and an understanding of which
publishers seek books similar to yours, you should be able to come up
with an excellent list of contacts.

Good luck!
