Publishers

Writers are advised to ensure their manuscripts conform to publishers' guidelines before sending out their work. Target your submissions to publishers who have a history of producing titles similar to your manuscript. The Canadian Publishers Directory can be found at your local library, and it contains contact and submission information.

Most Canadian publishing houses have a web presence—check out book lists and submission guidelines at their websites. If a publisher doesn’t publish illustrated picture books for kids or cookbooks or travel guides or mysteries or whatever, you’re not about to convince him to change his publishing program. Spend some time in bookstores looking at books and book covers that appeal to you and read book reviews published in Books in Canada, BC Bookworld, Quill and Quire, national newspapers and literary review publications.
