The Publishing Dilemma
 
1| 2| 3| 4| 5|6|7|8|
One of life’s greatest pleasures occurs when an author receives a quality, printed edition of their book. The feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment are wonderful but, unfortunately, the experience of seeing a manuscript in print does not always happen for every deserving writer. In fact, many worthy manuscripts are never published and there are many explanations for many reasons.

The publishing process can be confusing, complicated, and time consuming; consequently, potential authors may become frustrated and discouraged with the process of placing a book into print

Most large publishers are not interested in providing personal attention to new authors or projects that are small in scope.

Large publishers are not always interested in books that are intended for a limited audience such as family histories, regional studies, or personal journals. 

Your book may sell well locally or regionally, but if a mainstream publisher feels that sales are limited, they may pass. This doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be published!

New authors don’t need a mainstream press to have success. For example, many authors choose to handle their own books as for example, William Young, who self-published his New York Times bestseller, The Shack.  Also, many famous authors such as John Grisham, Gertrude Stein, Zane Grey, Mark Twain, and Virginia Wolf published their first books on their own.  

The editors at Southern Lion Books are interested in all types of projects, large and small, fiction and nonfiction, adult and juvenile, and have developed options that can place your manuscript in print. Let us assist in publishing your book!

We are always interested in hearing about your project...
