Regardless of what kind of books publishers are looking for, you’ll want to find a publisher who is appropriate for the book you wrote. They’ll understand your audience better and have key insights into developing your draft.
If you haven’t written a book yet, narrow down your interests into a few topics you’d like to explore. At this stage, you can research the publishers who work with those topics to see if they’re looking to publish new authors.
Publishers are interested in finding writers with existing audiences because those writers will already have followers who want to read their books, not necessarily because they know how to write like Hemingway.
