    Anybody here working in the publishing field?

    Hi guys.

    As some of you may know, I've been working on my anthology for a while now.

    It was supposed to be released this year, but I was told by my publisher that the project was far too large (from the cost of printing perspective) to be released as one book. She asked that I divide it into multiple pieces. Personally, I don't think it will be as impactful if it's broken up... so I'm looking for a cost-effective manner of printing/publishing.

    If you guys have any ideas or tips, hit me up.

    Thanks.

    Anthologies are mostly in a single volume .. Is your publisher in the US ? if not have you been in contact with any publishers in the USA yet ?

    Not as yet. Thought I'd start this thread first, and then decide what direction to take from there.

    So far, it's 231 pages of poetry.

    The artwork and intros will add another 200 pages.

    Just call a bunch of different printers and get quotes, how many copies do you want printed? are you selling this book commercially, or just for self.

    You could pay a graphic designer to help with the layout and have the print work sourced.
