As an author, you are probably aware of (and perhaps have experienced) some
of the problems of trying to get your work published by a commercial
publisher. Just having your manuscript read by most commercial publishers
is difficult and usually involves long delays.
Dorrance Publishing Company, Inc. provides a practical alternative for
consideration by authors of book length fiction and nonfiction manuscripts,
collections of poetry, collections of short stories, children's books, etc.,
who wish to see their works in print.
The Dorrance name has been associated with a tradition of quality subsidy
publishing since 1920. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss our
services with you and to review your manuscript to determine whether it
meets our requirements for publication, and if so, if we can be of help. You
may submit your completed manuscript to me for a no-fee, no-obligation
review.
You may submit your manuscript as a digital file (in Word or WordPerfect) by
simply clicking on reply to this e-mail and attaching your file. Other
submission options include saving your manuscript file to a disk or printing
your manuscript and sending it to me via traditional mail at:
Dorrance Publishing Company, Inc
ATTN: Andrew Rouce
701 Smithfield St.
3rd Floor
Pittsburgh, PA 15222
If your completed manuscript is less than 30 pages, you may submit it by
faxing it to my attention at 412-338-0427.
Upon receipt of your manuscript, we will review it and respond directly to
you within 30 days.
Also, I will be happy to send you a complimentary copy of our 32-page
brochure, Author's Guide to Subsidy Publishing. The brochure outlines our
publishing programs, including the manner in which we mechanically edit,
design, produce, and promote our books. To the best of our knowledge, we
are the only subsidy publisher to offer our authors the opportunity for
simultaneous publication in bookstore quality traditional format, and also
in an on-line electronic format.
You're invited to call me, toll-free, at 1-800-578-7654 between 9:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday. You may also
