    Listen to Kathryn.

    Michael doesn't know what he's talking about. Self-publishing is not the way to go; unless you only want a few copies of the book. Bookstores do not accept books that have been self-published, because ANYONE can selfpublish. That being said, the majority of it is junk that was rejected from actual publishers.

    Research the best publishers for your genre; some only accept certain genres and styles. Find the best publisher for your manuscript.

    I think you also need to research the process of publication some more before you go about this; you' certainly benefit from it.

    Good luck.

    Consult "The Writers Marketplace". Most public libraries have a copy of this book. Among other things, it has a list of publishers and their requirements.

    I'm a new author, unpublished as yet, and I would like to know what publishers...

    ...still accept submissions? The book I'm working on is Christian Romance/Drama. I'm not sure if that makes a difference in finding a publisher.
