Hi everyone! What a great community here.
I'm looking to get published and ask for your sound advice. It's a bit of a special case; due to platform, potential buyers, and my personal situation the target market is distributed globally.
Book category: Non-fiction (Business, Intercultural Management)
Target markets (in order of priority):
1) Singapore/India/China/Malaysia
2) US, UK
3) European Union
Publishing objectives:
1) Publish with a renowned publisher
2) Availability via Amazon.com,uk,de,fr and major brick-and-mortar chains in above countries
Author publishing experience:
This is my first book (previously published one article in a local edition of an international magazine)
Content wise it would fit into the roster of major publishers like McGraw Hill, Harper, Wiley and so on.
I’m considering the following options:
1) Find an agent in US who works with major publishers that release in US but also in Asia (including brick & mortar)
2) Approach publishers in APAC directly; publish locally first and later get into the US & UK market. Agents are not common in APAC. Even publishers like Wiley, Harper, and McGraw accept unagented submissions via their local branches.
What would you suggest? Any other ideas?
Thanks
Mike
