Preditors and Editors ™
A guide to publishers and publishing services for serious writers since 1997.
Attention Authors!
Want to promote your first published book?
In furtherance of our committment to helping writers, P&E will help you announce your first book regardless of whether it is published in print or electronically. Simply prepare a standard-sized banner containing your name, the title, ISBN (if available), and the publisher's name (and link, if available). Then email the banner to P&E. We'll post your banner on one of our pages for a month for free! Our Email address is listed here.
Please, no animated banners. We want to keep our pages fast loading for our visitors.
Here are some New Books by first time novelists.
Link-Back Emblems
The Preditors & Editors' emblem and banner below are freely available to any site wishing to provide a guidepost to other writers searching for resources. It's hoped that you'll copy either the following emblem or banner and part of our source code from this page so you can display it proudly showing your support for all writers.
11/9/06 - Important notice to all graphic artists! P&E needs some graphic buttons and will give you a free month of having your banner on a P&E page for a month along with a link to your site. What we need are buttons that express warnings about how to recognize literary scams. Each button should have only one warning sign on it so you can earn multiple pages or multiple months by creating multiple buttons. The graphic buttons must be given to P&E with no strings attached so that they can be freely distributed to web sites dealing with writing, art, editing, and so forth for display. You may place your business name in small letters on the graphic button provided it does not take precedence over the button's message. More than one business can take advantage of this offer. All submitted buttons will be judged by P&E's editor for suitability.
Artists interested in this offer can find some warnings at our Warnings page upon which they can draw their ideas. Provided the intent of the message is correct and clear, those may be edited as needed in order to fit. Artists are also encouraged to offer their own warnings and may include warnings that apply to artists, composers, or other strongly related writing areas though suitability is again up to the P&E editor's judgment.
This offer will last at the descretion of P&E's editor. In other words, we may keep this going only a month or longer as we see a need. Be creative. Be colorful. We want writers, artists, publishers, and others to want one of your buttons on their sites. Just remember to be accurate.
Send your submissions to P&E at prededitors@att.net along with the graphic banner for your company for P&E to use if one of your graphic buttons is chosen along with a statement that the buttons are to be considered the property of P&E. We prefer GIF and JPG formats as those files tend to be small, are easily attached to email, and are easy to cut and paste for our dialup visitors. Yes, you may request a specific P&E page for your banner to appear subject to availability.
By the way, the graphics should not have the P&E name or logo nor is a link to P&E expected. We're doing this solely to educate new writers and in the process make them less vulnerable to scams.
