"Remember that small company that  got Ann's
     book published?  . . .that one in Delaware."

Wintertree Press is an easily accessible publishing service where author and publisher work one-on-one for mutual success. This friendly partnership remains the primary cause of Wintertree's success. From the beginning, Wintertree's goal has been to help new and talented authors break into print, and to provide all authors with needed services not economically provided by other publishing houses.

Wintertree is a company founded upon a love of books by veteran teachers of English, literature, creative writing, and the sciences, whose personal histories also include the owning, editing, and publishing of magazines and newspapers. These backgrounds helped develop a sensitive understanding of authors and their publishing objectives.

Wintertree is intentionally a small company in a small town in the small state of Delaware. It is in Delaware because the family owning Wintertree has lived here since 1664, over a hundred years before The United States came into existence. They hope to remain here a hundred years more.
 

SO MANY GOOD MANUSCRIPTS. . .
SO MANY REJECTIONS. . .
WHY?

"Sell Big or Die"
Not every book is written to be a best seller. When only potential best sellers are published, it will indeed be a sad day for libraries, bookstores, readers, and writers. That said, how can our industry intelligently explain why so very many superior manuscripts are routinely rejected?

Many big-time publishers have already moved toward that sad day. "If it can't sell big, dump it." You may have received several letters or e-mails, ever-so-politely explaining how sorry they are not to be able to consider your work at this time. Do you think Emily Dickinson would stand a chance with many of today's big-sell publishers?

Fact: books that never become bestsellers represent over two-thirds of all books sold. That's a huge market. Wintertree Press is proud to stand with those publishers whose best sellers have not led them to a policy of dismissing other good manuscripts.
