YA E-Pubs?

[AlishaS]

I've decided... that I should look into e-pubs for one of my novels, that, though got a lot of response from agents, never got picked up. I've tried a few traditional publishers and am just playing the waiting game.

Does anyone know of an e-publishers interested in YA? I tried do a search on this site and came up empty. Querytracker gave me really nothing (they seem to be more centered around agents and traditional publishers)

I really don't know the first thing about e-pubs or where to start looking.

Thanks :)

The ones that come to mind are:

Noble Young Adult (https://www.nobleyoungadult.com/) (currently having website issues)

Decadent Publishing (http://www.decadentpublishing.com/)

Astrea Press (http://www.astraeapress.com/)

Entangled Publishing (http://www.entangledpublishing.com/)

My book is with Noble and I have friends who've recently had books out with Astrea and Decadent. I don't know anyone personally who has worked with Entangled but I'll be watching to see how they develop.

Hi Alisha,

There's also Muse It Up Publishing (http://museituppublishing.com/bookstore2/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65&Itemid=97) but they're only accepting manuscripts until July 1st.

There's Brighter Books (http://brighterbooks.submishmash.com/Submit), too, if they're still in business. In Backgrounds and Bewares, one of their authors commented that the BB folks have fallen strangely silent.

Also, there's Quake Publishing (http:///quakeme.com/submissions/), part of Echelon Books. They've been around for awhile but they'll require you to provide a marketing plan along with your submission.

Best of luck!

Ether, one of our AWer's had a book picked up by Entangled a week or so ago. Hopefully, we'll hear about her experience.

Medallion Press (http://www.medallionpress.com). They do some print still, but are moving more into digital.

Bell Bridge Books (http://www.bellbridgebooks.com): print & digital (SF&F, paranormal).

Crescent Moon Press (http://www.crescentmoonpress.com)

Thanks for these! I am on an agent hunt now, but it's good to have these in mind if that turns up nothing. Some of them look very promising.
