What Do You Know About Dorrancepublishing.com? by tsharp(m): 9:55am On Jul 17, 2011
Hi. I see the advert of this publishing outfit just about everywhere and I am considering giving them a try. Yes I have read everything they say they are and do but does anyone have any "enlightened" info about them to share or suggestions for one seeking a publisher?

I think Dorrance is a publishing services company, that means they provide services you pay for to publish yourself. They are neither the cheapest nor the best so I do not advise you to use them. If you wish to self publish, and live in Nigeria, try out local printers where you'll be seeing your customers face to face. Otherwise check out Createspace, Lulu etc that offer free options, or you can only publish your ebook through Smashwords.com/

However, try to pursue traditional publishing at the same time. Go to agentquery.com to look for agents or google Random House, Harper collins, Macmillians and other big publishers that will accept unagented and unsolicited queries. In the meantime, buy and read the kind of books you want to write including books on writing too. Join a writing forum either in your area or online like naija stories to help critique your work.

After that, keep writing!

Thanks Myne. Its a dream you got interested in my thread. It is humbling to see folks like you who've "made it" stop to consider others still aspiring. Will sleep over your suggestions. Thanks again.
