How to get your book published or how to get it reviewed on our list.
Women in Print DOES NOT make recommendations about where or how to get your writing published. Each publisher has their own process for this...and we don't often know what that is. You are welcome to use this list and contact publishers on our own. Also, we recommend the book list below. Many of these references provide information on publishers, their priorities or focus for publishing, and in some cases, their guidelines for sending manuscripts.
If you are an author published by one of the presses on this list, please contact your publisher directly about having your book represented on this site.
If you are a self-published author and would like your press represented here, please follow the guidelines on the publisher administration page.
How to get your book reviewed...
The titles you see reviewed in this column were sent to the column by the publishers.
