I have a proposal for a book. where can i get a list of email
addresses for book publishers to whom i can submit my proposal?

Book publishers generally won't accept e-mail submissions. In fact
they won't even read the note.

(I have had five non-fiction books published.)

I guess I should emphasize that I mean not from writers they don't already know.

Get a 2006 Writer's Market:

So in total you've had ten non-fiction books published, Siliconsamurai?

Well done!

Five titles mikomoro, they actually publised several copies of each
one (GRIN), that was a mistaken double post.

Everyone should do it at least once.

Still, I don't recommend it as a way to make money. Even with some
really big publishers (Dow Jones Irwin, McGraw-Hill, etc.) and good
promotion ,the books didn't make much money, I figure I must have
earned about 10-cents per hour total. (GRIN)

But that was so long ago that I have trouble remembering the titles.

I will probably self-publish the next one since you can market through
Amazon directly but I wouldn't recommend that to a first timer.

Hagan is exactly right, although I recommend that you first look
through the same category of new books on Amazon or in a book store to
see what publishers are currently putting out new books in your genre
- I haven't looked at WD for decades until my cousin recently asked me
about it - lots of the listings look the same as they did in 1980.

The situation is very different when you have an established
relationship with editors. Once a proposal (usually with a full
outline and first chapter) are accepted, then most publishers will
work electronically but some still want printed hard copy submissions
(several in fact since one goes to a copy editor).
