List compiled by Elizabeth Petty Bentley

Editor's Note: Elizabeth Petty Bentley has published numerous genealogical resources, including texts such as The Genealogist's Address Book. She also writes fiction; her latest book is The Fly on the Rose. The board of latterdayauthors.com wishes to thank Elizabeth for her time and effort in compiling this list. If you have any corrections or additions to this list, please let us know!

The following lists publishers who have published, or currently publish, works geared to an LDS audience. Please note that there are publishers in this list who also print works for national markets, not just the LDS market, as well as publishers that some authors may not be comfortable writing for, or publishers whose listings may or may not suit your tastes or opinions. This list is presented for your information only, and latterdayauthors.com does not offer recommendations of where one should or should not publish. In other words, we are passing along this information to you, and it is up to you to decide if a publisher is right for you and your work.

You've finished your book. What now?

While marketing my own work, I've compiled an annotated list of LDS publishers, noting also those firms which have merged or gone out of business. Some are subsidy publishers, and others appear to be self-publishers, which are not interested in receiving outside submissions. All the web sites worked as of July 2004.
