I'm a student, so I have very little money to spend on a vanity publisher. I've been looking for a publisher for weeks, but any good publishers that I find need several hundred dollars to get the book on the shelves. Several hundred dollars that I don't have. I already tried PublishAmerica, and they rejected me. Can anyone help me?

Getting the names of book publishers is pointless; to get the publishers to look at your book, you need a literary agent who pitch the book to the editors at the publishing companies. Most publishers will not accept unsolicited manuscripts.

Go to your labrary and ask for a book called the Writer's Market. It will give you lots of info on where to find a publisher, selling your work, your rights, the law, etc. Good luck to you...

It sounds as if you already approached a Vanity Publisher, but there are others out there that I feel certain would print your book. However, bear in mind that it's a very expensive project. Also, you have to store the books and market them yourself. All of that takes a great deal of time. I suggest that you go to a bookseller online and see what type of genre they have in comparison to yours. Then, check to see who the publishers of those books are and send query letters. You can also go to the library and see if they have a copy of Writer's Market or various magazines such as Publisher's Weekly or The Writer. They also list publishers and/or agents who might be able to help you. I will warn you that breaking into the publishing world is NOT easy and if you truly believe in your project, be patient. It all takes time.
