Reviews

"...a valuable resource for authors without an agent. The info is clear, concise and provides helpful guidance on what to include for each submission. Well done!"--Becky Parker Geist, President of Bay Area Independent Publishers Assn., chapter leader of NonFiction Authors Assn., and CEO of Pro Audio Voices Inc.

"As a basic reference of publisher contacts in the small-to-medium press world, The Big Book of Small Presses & Independent Publishers can't be beat. It holds all the basics necessary to appeal to authors who eschew self-publishing and agents, and who want to approach that segment of the publishing industry particularly willing to work with new authors." -- Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer for Midwest Book Review

"In an era when traditional publishing feels unattainable to so many people, this book is a beacon of hope.". -- Annie Tucker, Writing Coach

"MacDonald's confident prose and great summaries and organization give readers that same empowered feeling to go out and seek publication themselves, without having to rely on or feel judged by an old-fashioned middle man." -- K.C. Finn, for Readers' Favorites
