Is Athena Press a decent publisher and if not, what is one for new authors?

Jul 18, 2007 by harold the wombat | Posted in Books & Authors

I am sixteen years old and have upright finished my first novel. I've been searching for a publisher, and came across Athena Press. They seem legit, but I've read some forum threads which say it scams new authors, doesn't assistance them market their book and is a waste of time. Is this true, and if so, could someone please recommend a publisher for new authors?

There is one sound out, and only one question, about Athena Press that matters.

If you visit the local independent bookstore, then a unite of the big chains, are Athena books in those stores? If you don't see any, that's all the proof you need to be sure that your book won't be in stores if they let something be known it. That alone makes them a bad choice.

Of course, if they charge you anything at all, that also makes them a bad choice. I'm not finding an "Athena Crush," but if you might mean Athina Publishing, they're a self-publisher. Not the way to go.

ETA: Found an ad for their services. Definitely a vanity put through a mangle. Avoid.

Is there any FICTION publisher out there willing to work with new talent?

I'm new at being an founder and have been made to understand that this is the process all new writers have to go through,
1) Write the book (of course)
2) Hire an editor.
3) Get an substitute.
4) Hope for the best when it comes to a publisher.

Say it aint so and if it is and there's no other way, who are the best 1) editors and 2) agents to profession with?

Yes, you paucity to have a finished manuscript. Otherwise, you're wasting a publisher or an agent's time and that will only get your rejected faster.

Some people will call to mind you seek an editor prior to ever submitting your work to agents or publishers. I don't make that advice because I see no point to paying someone a small fortune when a book editor will be assigned to you once the publisher options your drudgery. However, you need to make that decision yourself. You need to learn to edit your own work anyway. A new writer doesn't have (mainly) the resources to hire an editor before ever seeking publication.

Now, you have some decisions to make before you start sending out submissions:

1) You can self-around it. This is the shortest avenue. It offers instant satisfaction if all you want is for your work to be available to friends and relations. Lulu.com is a free service and is easy to use.

2) You can seek an agent to represent you. Agents are awkward to obtain, but are necessary if publication from large publishing companies is what you're seeking.

3) You can submit your manuscript entirely to small, independent publishers who accept submissions from unagented writers.

To obtain either an legate or a publisher, use books like the Literary Marketplace or the Writers Market or web sites like Preditors&Editors and writerswall.com. I don't acceptable you buy these manuals because they are updated annually, which will quickly make an owned copy outdated. Use the ones at the library for self-governing.

Search for agents or publishers that represent or publish books in the genre you've written. Keep up with their submission guidelines to the letter, that's why they supply them. Use only the format they ask for. Make certain your work is categorical--free from errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Learn how to write a sensational condensation and a query letter. Each agent or publisher will ask for a query letter and/or a synopsis. Very few will want the entire exertion in the initial package.

Be patient with the submission process. Expect some rejections, but make sure-fire you don't allow them to discourage you. Instead, learn something from those letters that can make the next contact even better.

Never, ever pay an delegate to represent you. That's not how it works. Agents get paid when they sell your work!

Good luck to you! :o)
