Hi all.

Before I create this topic, I done some research and already contact some of the publisher, most publisher have theme, like selling children book or autobiographic but never a novel. I also know selling novel in English isn't that great cause many Malaysia don't read English and only a small market of people do.

However, I am relentless and want to publish my novel out. At least try first, who knows. If all else fail, I might consider to self-publish using ebook.

anyone can help me?

book publisher.. theres alot in malaysia.

karangkraf for example

If you have money, you can just pay a printing company to print it out for you.

how bout putting up as ebook, 1st chapter for free. then if people interested can buy ur ebook.

*out of topic

yes, i do agree with you, Malaysians rarely read! in fact I am the only one among my friends who at least reads a little.
Btw, what kind of novel are you writing? I will buy your book if it interests me

hello,

for english novel publisher we do have fixi novo. did you contact them??
https://www.facebook.com/FixiNovo

I know every process from editing to layout design to isbn and cip registration. BUT, I'm not a publisher yet, so ccan't help you because I'd need a legit company in order to do the formal registration

Unless you can wait until I establish my own publishing house

No offence, but why? your English isn't good, no one will take you on you might want to self-publish I guess

yea, a lot of them but not a lot of them publish fiction novel.

Prefer to go the hard road first before self-publishing.

good idea, might consider that.

not yet, thanks. Will looks into it.

erotic?? xD try fixi lah... fixi is very urban.. even their malay novels (fixi) got hot scenes.

what's your niche? or genre?

I see i see. Will contact them but before i do, need an editor first.. haha.

Suspend, Mystery and Romance.

Congrats on your amy story!!!

thanks

Here's a suggestion - Put up your first chapter electronically for us bookworms to sample. We'll tell you if we might be interested or not.

I haven't bought much books lately, but I'm more than willing to support a local writer if I don't think their work is shabby. Its about time Malaysia produces its own globally recognized author, I'd say.

I mean if crap like Twilight and 50 Shades can sell in the millions...

Hi, good luck in publishing your book. There's a GLC - Kota Buku which provides a space at their office to help writers publish their content. I have visited the space and it is conducive for aspiring writers. [Free wifi, coffee & snacks] Perhaps you can enquire them. http://kotabuku.my/services/kota-buku-academy/

Agrees with arubin

you can publish on your own. of course you have to hire PR company for marketing and promotion too.
