COMPANY PROFILES
Each company has a distinct identity and product line. Some houses are very commercial; others are very literary. Some are small and independently owned; others have hundreds of employees and are part of huge corporations. Some are driven by profit, while others are not-for-profit and operate primarily to contribute to our culture. Some specialize in fiction, while others are experts in an academic discipline. Some target adults; others cater to children.
To find the best fit, you may want to match your personal goals and talents with the goals and talents of the publishing house. (See also: Types of Publishing)
