Clarification of Question by javapundit-ga on 10 Jun 2005 11:09 PDT

My dad in India has written and compiled books related to effective
public speaking. I am looking to find publishers in the US and in
India that will be willing to print such a book.
My dad also has compiled another book on Indian marriages. Again, i'm
looking for specific publishing companies in India and the US that are
willing to publish such books, and can work with my dad for editing
and critiquing purposes.

Information on any agencies that act as the middleman between writers
and publishers, will also be welcome.

I really am looking for actual names, addresses and contact
information of any such publishers and/or agencies as I am a complete
newbie in the field of publishing.

Hi javapundit -- what do you mean by 'international author'? Most
publishers will accept submissions from a variety of countries,
particularly in the US. If you're looking to get international
distribution of a book that you write, your best bet is to start in
your own country (or in some single country of your choosing) and
distribute nationally first and then negotiate with another publisher
abroad for distribution there. Who you start with depends on the genre
of the book you write -- a publisher of business/management texts is
going to vary widely from a publisher that puts out religious work.
