List of Nonfiction Publishers

Finding a nonfiction publisher can be tough.

For me, it took six years of writing book proposals, querying literary agents, and pitching publishers until I finally got my first book published.

That experience of emailing, calling, and mailing submission after submission to countless agents and publishers left me feeling worthless, defeated, and unimportant.

The good news is that experience also taught me to work hard, be patient, and keep honing my writing skills. It also inspired me to create TCK Publishing and to help our authors sell hundreds of thousands of books.

That’s also why our team created this list of nonfiction publishers to help make the process of finding the right publisher for your nonfiction book so much easier.

List of Nonfiction Publishers
