Of the multitude of niche writing markets on the scene today, the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender reading audience is one of the best educated, economically advantaged markets today. And they are hungry for information that affects their lives. The book publishers profiled in this guide publish nonfiction titles ranging from sociopolitical textbooks on gender issues to lifestyle and health choices for the gay family and fiction ranging from romantic comedy to murder mysteries to same-sex erotica. This is a growing niche market. Publishers and editors in this niche market are ALWAYS on the look out for fresh, new ideas and voices. No longer just hole-in-the-wall print shops, these publishers include both small, esoteric houses and the monoliths from New York City. The biggest stumbling block writers have trying to break into niche markets is not how to write, but how to sell what they write. The key to improving your chances of acceptance and having your book published is to know your market. The Nitch Witch's Guide to GLBT Book Publishers is your insider's view into the gay and lesbian markets. It provides detailed profiles of 80+ book publishers across the nation specializing in titles of all genres that are of interest to the gay/lesbian/bi/transgender reading audience. Each profile clearly indicates which accept unsolicited manuscripts from new authors and those that are actively seeking new titles and writers! Every publisher profile includes: * address, phone, and website address * description of the target market * representative titles published * standard royalty, advance and rights information for authors * primary person to contact * information on unsolicited and unagented submissions * query letter and submission guidelines
