Top Publications is a small press located in Dallas Texas that publishes primarily mainstream fiction. Most of our authors do not have agents. Being a small press we can't guarantee your book will be picked up by the major chains or independent bookstores. Generally the only way for a new author to get their new book in a store is to have a book signing there. Unless you are willing to have 50 to 100 signings during your first year, there is little likelihood that your book will be successful. Therefore please don't submit your work to us unless you are willing to make this commitment. TOP gives its authors the opportunity to get published, but their success will depend mainly on their own efforts.
If you are willing to make this commitment and would like TOP to consider publishing your book, please send us a query letter by email to
[email protected]. Let us know something about yourself, the book, and your marketing ideas for it. We will evaluate your submission and if we want to see more, we'll let you know. If we do decide to publish your work, it will usually take 9 to 12 months to get you in print. TOP is a traditional publisher and pays a small advance to its authors upon signing a contract.
