Last time, we introduced the world of publishing.  Yet, even with that information, publishing companies are hard to find, and sometimes difficult to contact, soit seems kind of wasted. Unfortunately, there are no publishing companies in Ross, and there are just a few of outstanding record within fifty miles of Ross.  The good news, however, is that most publishing companies will accept manuscripts by e-mail, and others will accept them by post.  Included here are a few of the most noted publishing companies that offer services by mail and internet, and some that are a little closer to Ross.
