Got a book? Not having much luck with agents and big publishers? Not up to self-publishing? There's always the small presses. These are open to working directly with authors though may have submission periods, i.e. don't take submissions all the time. It's a real mixed bag from non-fiction to poetry to kids and YA. Have a look and see if any suit your work.
One that caught my eye is Annick Press. It's a small Canadian press focussed on children's books that is famous here for discovering and publishing the great children's author Robert Munsch. Would be a perfect market for, say, a collection of stories about cute animals having adventures.😉😊
