catholic publishers

Not sure about that particular publisher. There's always the official catechism of the Catholic Church and then there's Amazon.

You can buy a large print American Bible and some prayer books but that is about all. No large print Jerusalem Bible which of course would have to be in more than one volume. I can't find any of St. Louis de Montfort's books in large print.

Why are the visually impaired neglected?
Mommy, I had already mentioned the New American Bible and some prayer books are in large print but hardly nothing else. That is what your link has. You can't find the Jerusalem Bible in large print. I have already searched the internet.

Traditionally it is because it is difficult to completely reprint a book in a different typeface. With modern technology, it is because the market simply is not there. As such, the solution is to get a good reading magnified glass or buy reading glasses. However, the population of American and Europe is aging so expect to start to see more large print editions in the next 10 years.

HOWEVER if you think there is a market, why don't you print your own books.

Go to www.cafepress.com take the text of an out of copyright work (All of Louis de Montfort's books are), increase the font size to how you like it, make a book at Cafe Press and sell large print Catholic Classics to Catholics who are visually impaired.

My grandfather has recently written a biographical book on the surprisingly exciting life of a Catholic priest. He's looking to find a publisher for this book, which, he jokingly says, "will revitalize the priesthood".

However, he's wary of publishers such as PublishAmerica and other vanity presses and print-on-demand pbulishers. What publishers should he send his book to and which publishers does he stand the best chance of getting his book published?

Thanks.

If the priest is local and/or well known to your area then his best bet will be to research local or regional small presses, including, if available, the state University press.

Otherwise you may find something of use to you here:

It is fairly unlikely that a large national house will express interest in his work unless there is something major that sets it apart from the pack. This sounds like a work well suited to niche publication. He is wise to avoid self publishing. That's a nasty little rabbit hole.
By the way, just as with any other publisher, he should not just send his work off to them. He needs to research their requirements and query them to see if there is interest, though frequently with small press there is less of a need for an agent than there is with the national houses.

I have completed a book which will be quite offensive to many including catholics,muslims,aboriginals.It is based on actual facts and events and predicts the end of this world in 2060.Is there any-one prepared to publish it?
It is a historical account of wars and other disasters,including the destruction of the environment through political stupidity and the total ignorance of man.D.S.Mills,(NOT RELATED TO MELANIE MILLS!!)

Come on, what the aboriginals ever do? They're the only innocent ones in your list. lol.

Anyway, the first step is to find a literary agent. There are several websites out there that will help you, my favorite is QueryTracker.net at http://www.querytracker.net/ . It is free and has a list of literary agents and also tools to help you keep track of who you already queried and who you haven't, plus more.

They do a good job of keeping the crooks off their lists, but it is still a good idea to double check at http://www.sfwa.org/beware/twentyworst.h ...

There are a lot of crooks out there. Never pay anyone to read or publish your book. A real agent will never ask for money except as a percentage of your royalties.

Keep in mind that finding an agent and getting published is not an easy process. Some people have to query hundreds of agents before they find one who will accept them (sadly, some never get accepted), but be persistent and keep trying.

Good luck.

I used to be Baptist and am now Catholic. As a Baptists, there were adult and children's sunday school books, with lesson plans for each week. I'm trying to find something similar, but set up for Catholics. I can't find them online. I want to start up a "sunday school" at my Catholic Church, since we do not have one. It would even help if you have them at your Catholic church and could give me the publisher/name information of the books so I could look them up. Thanks :)
