12. Why should I choose FindmyPublisher.com?

    Well, we think that anno 2018 it's easier to meet online to make business. If you are in the right environment you know that every member is there for a specific reason: authors to be published, publishers to discover new talents or to sell the work of their authors abroad. We have tried to design a new way of working: publishers can now look for new authors and new authors can be easily found by publishers.

    Readers add value. They can let publishers know what they would like to have published or translated.
