OVERSEAS PUBLISHERS
I have attempted here to provide some of the best resources and links to publishers in the United Kingdom and the United States, since it appears, and I am open to correction on this, that publishers from these countries are definitely interested in Indian writing in English. Even though my knowledge of the publishing industry in Australia is limited, I have provided a couple of interesting links. You'll also find listed here, websites of a few key international publishers
Publishers in the United Kingdom
The best sources of information on UK based publishers are:
- BLOOMSBURY MAGAZINE
BloomsburyMagazine.com's
Guide for Unpublished Writers
- The Publishers catalogue home pages: Personally I have found this to be the best source of detailed information and links to UK publishers. It contains links to almost all the known publishers in the UK.
- The Writers' & Artists' Year Book 2002: Published annually by A&C Black (Publishers) Ltd, (35 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4JH) is an excellent source of information. It's an expensive book but is usually available at your nearest British Council Library as a reference book.
- The Writer's Handbook 2006 : Edited by Barry Turner and published annually by Macmillan, is also an excellent source of information. Its now available in most book stores in India as an inexpensive international edition. Worth buying.
