HINTS: "Please do your research ahead of time. Find out what types of books the publisher publishes. Many authors make the mistake of not researching the publisher's niche. How does your book fit their niche? Also, have a clear understanding of how your books compares to others already on the market. One of our pet peeves (and a red flag) is when an author says, ëThere's nothing out there like this book.' Knowing
your competition gives the publisher a category in which to place your book. If other books are doing well on the topic (say, autism), that actually increases the chances of a publisher picking up your book."
