The assignment is to research an INDEPENDENT book publisher. Prepare your research as a short feature article (double-spaced document and APA formatted references). DO NOT simply list the questions and answers. Cite your sources and include a reference page. The tone should be conversational – not too formal or too casual. I want a professional conversational tone like you would use with colleagues at a conference, rather than a stiff and formal report. Include a cover page with your name, the class, the title of the assignment, and the date. Include a reference page listing your sources.

The following questions in the attachment must be answered within the document. DO NOT ADD THE QUESTIONS to the "Short Feature Article" that u are to create.

DOES NOT WANT THE QUESTION LISTED in the article, but within the article I want those questions answered.

Name of the company?
Date/Year established?
Approximate number of titles (books)?
What type of material do they produce? (Type, Genre/Niche, Style)?
Do you like the genre/subject matter of their other products?
How do they distribute their products?
Where can you buy their products?
Do you like the art work (promotional materials, photos, covers, layouts) for their products?
Would you read them? Which ones?

What kind of Marketing and Publicity support do they offer for their products? (Search on a Title and see what you find. Reviews? Trailers? Ads? Web Sites? Interviews?)

Are there any positive/negative comments/articles about them on-line? Any angry employees or writers? (check them out on http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/index.htm) Any chatter about them on blogs or discussion boards?

Do they work with new writers?
Does it say if you need to contact them through an agent?
Is the company currently open to Submissions? If not, when?
What is their submission process? How do they want you to submit it?
What kind of package do they want you to submit to them?
Is there a word count requirement?
What is their expected response time?
Any contract/terms details?
Is this company a good fit for you and your work? Not only would they be interested in what you write, but also, would you want them to handle your work?
