How to get your book published

 ou can keep sending your manuscript around in the hope that you will be one of the fortunate exceptions; you can print it yourself, and take on all the functions of a publisher, such as promoting, distributing, packing, billing, collections, etc.; you can put your manuscript away and give up in despair; or you can come to Vantage Press, where your work will be welcome, and will get a prompt, careful and sympathetic reading.

It is significant that since 1949 Vantage Press has published the books of thousands of new writers. Among them are physicians, teachers, members of the clergy, journalists, farmers, housewives, business executives, and others in every walk of life. Some of them have written important works. All of them, in our opinion, deserved an audience.

Sales of the average Vantage Press book vary widely. Some books sell a few hundred copies or less; some, a few thousand copies; a handful sell even more. By its very nature, book publishing is a hazardous business, and the author who pays to publish his work should weigh the risks involved.

Despite this, many authors are aware that the rewards of subsidy publication are usually reckoned not in financial terms, but in personal satisfaction, increased prestige, broader job and career opportunities, and greater recognition and respect from friends and business associates.

For over 50 years, Vantage Press has been the choice of beginning writers.
