Here's his list:
- Random House (15.9% market share)
- Pearson (11%)
- HarperCollins (10.6%)
- Simon & Schuster (9.3%)
- Hachette (6.2%)
- Scholastic (5.2%)
- Thomas Nelson (4.7%)
- Holtzbrinck (4.4%)
- Tyndale House (1.9%)
- Wiley (1.9%)
I was surprised to see Pearson so close to the top because I think of them primarily as a textbook publisher. But Jason reminded me that they have Penguin. I was also surprised to see Wiley as far down as it was. I somehow had an impression that they were much bigger. But just keep in mind that all of these companies are megaliths made up of many of the biggest imprints and brand names that you know by heart.

I was wondering if there was a place that I can find was to contact publishers. I cant find any not self-publishing ones.
You need a literary agent. Publishers typically won't talk to authors/writers. Have to go through an agent.
