Aberdeen Bay Aberdeen Bay is a traditional, mainstream, and independent publisher that strives to publish the best books. Quality is our top concern. If your manuscript is truly outstanding, then we will publish your work regardless if you are a published author or not. Another important character of Aberdeen Bay is relationship building.

We like to cultivate long-term relationships with our authors by providing them with dedicated editorial and marketing assistance. By joining Aberdeen Bay, an author will be able to network with other authors, gain knowledge of the publishing industry, and receive our continuous support. Aberdeen Bay has published several award winners in 2009 including The Dead Guy, Uncle Si's Secret and Death of a Perfect Man. www.aberdeenbay.com *** Abingdon Press *** Academy of Chicago Publishers By and large, Academy Chicago does not publish books with explicit, gratuitous sex and violence; we no longer publish science fiction or thrillers, neither of which do very well for us. We do not publish cookbooks, self-help or books dealing with the supernatural--that is, anything to do with angels and life after death, although we do publish ghost stories; however, most of the latter which we do publish are classics. We do not publish horror or photography books, nor do we do children's books, other than children's classics. We do not have any Young Adult classification. *** Advance Books Company *** Akashic Books, P.O. Box 1456 , Akashic Books is a Brooklyn-based independent company dedicated to publishing urban literary fiction and political nonfiction by authors who are either ignored by the mainstream, or who have no interest in working within the ever-consolidating ranks of the major corporate publishers. *** Algonquin Press *** Alligator Press, Inc., *** Allison and Busby Ltd. *** Anansi Press *** Arcade Publishing *** Archer Books *** Andrew Scott Publishers Description: "Realistic mysteries, no gratuitous violence or sex. We like unique plots and puzzles, romantic intrigue, espionage. Believable characters, scenes, well crafted, professionally edited work between 40,000-70,000 words from authors able to vigorously promote their work." *** Atlantic Books *** Avalon The element of suspense is very important, but it is equally important to have a tight, well-researched, believable story line. Avoid contrived, predictable, mechanical plots and old clichés. We are now looking for longer (50,000-60,000 words), gritty, more mainstream mysteries. *** Avid Press Description: "Realistic mysteries, no gratuitous violence or sex. We like unique plots and puzzles, romantic intrigue, espionage. Believable characters, scenes, well crafted, professionally edited work between 40,000-70,000 words from authors able to vigorously promote their work." *** Avocet Press Inc, We are looking for a good story from an unusual point of view. For example, a protagonist who is interested in social issues, is angry/emotional, has a sense of humor or has dependencies. Strong, believable characters and tight plotting are requirements. We want to be surprised. We like the cutting edge. We are particularly fond of feminist mysteries. ***
