I would like to know whether any of the brotehrs and sisters here have a link with any of the Islamic publishers around the world. I know that the e-mail addresses of the Publishers are available, yet I have not been able to receive an answer from any of the publishers I have contacted up to now. So if the moderators of sunniforum or some otehr brothers know a better way to contact any of the major Islamic publishers, it would be good for them to inform me.
The book is a discussion about Sunni-Shia differences. Of course, since I am a Sunni, then the book is from the Sunni perspective (I have not made it like a lot of the anti-Shia propaganda, since this is not the way in my opinion to deal with the matter). However, I do not want to disclose too many details in a public forum for the time being at least.
Well it's best 2 just search around...I can't say much....But the best thing would be to contact a few highly rated publishers then pick out the best 1!
Also ask Allah for guidance and Allah will guide you to the best 1 Inshallah...I always rely on Allah cos he's the only 1 that you can truly trust and rely on.
You know, try forgetting the publishers for a moment. Get some publicity for the book. Create a website, give some snippets, and this way word will get around. Soon, there might just be a publisher who comes across it and offers you a deal.
Got a question, or got something in general to say or ask me, drop me a line. Peace out!

I thought that if i give publicity to it through the internet, then the whole idea of a publisher disappears (because the work is already free for everyone ???)
No, no. We're talking publicity. Some notes about it. Little extracted snippets from the text too see some of the content. The writing style. Not publish the whole book!
Think of released movies, and 1 month before the movie release date trailers, and teaser trailers which come out months before that.

Salaam. Is it a big book? If its small, then maybe think about getting it published independantly, it wouldn't cost too much and if you think your book is any good, then insha'Allah you should make your money back.
Most Islamic bookstores are privately run, so if you turn up on the door 'Hi, this is a book I wrote and published, could you sell it in your store' they'll probably say yes.
Once you've done that, then you'll be on better standing to publish a book through Islamic publishers, however I still recommend independant.
It is a book about 100 pages long for now, though it may expand once I complete the references and glossary and so on. Or it may become shorter given tht some of the things may become merged nd shrink the overall size if the book.
There are some things to consider though in my case:
1. I am living in Saudi Arabia, so it is difficult for publishing inside the Kingdom, specially if it is about Sunni-Shia issues (because the governemnet is not in favor of upsetting the situation).
2. Is there a way to "publish" the book on the Internet ? Someone gave me this idea, though I doubt it wil work, for various reasons.
So I would like to know what is the proper technique to follow in this regard. I hope I am not being too greedy in this respect. :confused:
You may want to check out MPADC.COM (muslims programmers and designers community) Post what you need there, since a few bro's there have published CD's, leaflets and other media.
