Nowadays the journey to becoming an author and publishing a book is a complex affair. Especially when trying to figure out the biggest names in the game and which publishing houses best align with your creative persona. Moreover, another challenge is drawing the line between trade publishing, educational publishing and editorials. Trade publishing entails publishing books for a general audience and with fiction novels, this type of publishing is always the way to go. To help you keep your eyes on the prize, here are the top 5 global publishers for fiction novels who are currently accepting submissions.

The company’s imprints DAW and Seven Stories currently accept submissions.

Macmillan
This publishing house remains the more famous name among the Big 5, possibly because it was a part of most of our childhood.
