As
Publishers, Dzanc's mission is to help find a home for many amazing,
talented authors. We plan to publish at least four books ourselves
in 2008—and several others through our imprints, Black
Lawrence Press, OV
Books and Monkeybicycle—with an even larger
number each year thereafter. Dzanc Books is familiar with the
horror tales about authors hearing back from editor after editor
praising their work but stating marketing couldn't figure out
how they would promote their book. Dzanc has no such fears. If
the manuscript is excellent, we will provide editing guidance
and do whatever it takes to find the audience a work deserves.
We aren't concerned about a Dzanc book falling into some special
niche to market towards as our strategy is far more expansive.
Everybody here at Dzanc is well connected and aligned with editors,
distributors and public relations folks who have years of experience
working with literary fiction.
Please submit sample chapters or stories here.
