Marketing to the Conglomerates As with the other Conglomerates,
each imprint here should be marketed as if they were independent publishers. Most of News Corporation’s
imprints accept query letters sent by mail. They however need to be addressed to the editor by name. You
can get the names by consulting Jeff Herman’s Guide to Publishers, Editors, and Literary Agents. This is the guide you
need to use when marketing your book.
