Publishers In Singapore: Where Do I Start?

By Isidro Lammi


After you have spent all you precious time and effort in creating that book of yours, the next step you will be taking is to have it published. Since it is likely that this is your first time trying to get a book published, it is important to know just what it is you need to look for when you are choosing among the list of publishers in Singapore.

To ensure that you start walking at the right path, it is highly recommended that you first come up with a list of prospective publishers in Singapore. In this list, you can take note of each publishers attributes and then evaluate which one of them can really help you. Try to take your time in learning about how many years they have been publishing in Singapore, the genres of books they publish, target audience, etc.

You can also benefit from joining forum discussions on authors and publishers since this will allow you to personally talk to colleagues about successful book publishing and get expert insights as well. Online reviews can provide you with detailed feedback on your prospective publishers in Singapore. If you have writer friends, they may also provide assistance in getting your book published.

If you are seeking book publishing in Singapore, take note that it won't be an easy process, especially with big publishing companies. You will have to be persistent in proving just how worthy of publishing your book is. Working with an agent should be beneficial in your quest to make negotiations with publishers about pushing through with your work.

A good way to have an idea of the quality of the services provided by publishers in Singapore is to ask for a copy of a book they have published recently. You may take this time to examine physically how the book appeals to you. A properly published book should have little or no flaws, whether on the printing of the text or in its cover.

While it may be surprising to know that getting your book noticed by publishers in Singapore may take some time, that's really how things go, and you should be persistent and patient in sending query letters to them in the hopes that at least one of them will respond. You must remain determined even though you get rejections from some publishers - eventually you'll get your break too.
