    A dummy question Re: publishers

    For manuscript regarding foreigners’ (eg. Chinese) experience in the United States; how they struggled and fit into this country and become part of it; how they overcome all kinds of difficulties and have their dreams (including literature dreams) come true – Which publishers would be the most recommended ones to submit the work to? Thanks for the response and I really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Find an agent first. Then have them submit your manuscript to the right publishers.

    Whatever the ethnicity, this synopsis is hardly new. There are tons of books already written on this subject. Unless there's some earth shattering experiences that haven't been covered, you would have a hard time finding a publisher who's willing to lose money publishing "just another book about...."

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
