Top Publisher Seeks Women Writers: Women Writers Get Published

Getting published for the first time is not an endeavor for the faint of heart. Manuscripts must be in professional form and timed just right when reaching the decision-maker's desk. But, one publisher has made an industry of printing books written by women, for women. Seal Press, a subsidiary of Perseus Books, deals with a wide range of women's issues, written by those who lived it and know.

There are no stern restrictions with topics, but they distribute such categories as feminine studies, parenting,
food, fiction, dating, career and business, home buying, humor, self help, sports , poetry, African American studies, and more.

If you have something to say that will benefit a woman's life, Seal Press is interested in you. As an example, with their list of travel books, these are not merely tourist's guides, but, rather, an intrapsychic examination of women who have traveled. Thoughts and ideas are promoted over facts and figures. Perhaps something in your travels touched you emotionally, romantically or spiritually. That experience can be related in how-to format or fiction, but, the core element is reaching women with empathy.

Perhaps you have a humorous side and can relate to serious issues with wit. A self-help book about your funniest romantic catastrophes might bring the message home faster than a somber illustration of pain. For the fiction-writer, your central theme must be issues that affect women, told in a collection of short stories or novel format. Though there must be males in the story to bring full breath to your characters, the protagonist should be a woman who can tell her story on how to overcome, how she copes, or how she wins or loses.

Most titles are offered in paperback for an easy sale. Seal Press does print hardcover, but the chances for increased sales volume comes from softcovers that are affordable. Your work will be distributed among the finest and most well-known book houses online, with such vendors as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, Books-a-million.com, Borders.com, Indie-Bound.org, Powells.com, A1Books.com, Buy.com, Hastings and Walmart. In addition to domestic distribution, Seal Press also sells from Amazon.com in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

Women's issues about life, emotion, and relationships are a universal internal process. While some specific cultural situations are tied to certain geographic areas, the inner most thoughts and emotions of women remains the same. Issues to European women and beyond are just as sharp and biting as to Americans. Seal Press has captured that market that women demand, and if you have a story to tell, they want to hear from you.
