A publishing house????

Selecting a publishing house?????


I can admit, this is a thought that had never crossed my mind before this assignment. I can understand trying to find out which literary agent I would be interested in, but publishing house? Not so much so. To me, it seems that a selection like this, my literary agent company would decide, but for the sake of the assignment, I think I've made my decision.

Little Brown
Penguin
Harper Collins
Random House
St. Martins Press


In no particular order, I randomly clicked on each website. Looking on the home page, and on the author list, I couldn't seem to find something that looked interesting to me.

Until I finally came to the Penguin site. After I looked over the home page, my interest had been peaked. Once I realized that the web site looked cool, and easy to use, I looked at the overview.  This is when I felt really excited about not only the company but my place with it.

Authors like Toni Morrison, Terry McMillan, and Eric Jerome Dickey, all work with this company. I tried to search the other sites once more after I found these, but they either had no one to catch my attention, or the web site was too complex for me to find one.
