Have you read State of Fear yet?
I think Regnery might. Of course, even if the work is good, there's no guarantee a "Conservative" publisher will be interested.
Consider self-publishing, if your goal is to profit.
-Good Luck-
Ask LS, he's written and had a number of books published.
Rush, Hannity, Savage, Levin etc etc etc etc were published, not on the basis of being Conservative, most likely, but because their words are marketable, and thus, profitable.
I'll buy your book, if you autograph it for me... deal?
Start with an agent. Submit your proposal to known literary agents who represent authors of similar books. If ligthening strikes and an agent does want to represent ou they will know exactly where to take your book and all the terms and details of negotiation.
Trust me. My wife is a three-time New York Times bestselling author.
Talk with Jeff about it. He has published a couple of books.
If you are careful, it is possible to write a book with superficially liberal statements, though any true intellect will see through this and discover your conservative intentions.
Publishers haven't the skill to read books, nor do most critics.
OF course there are... remember this one thing: if a publisher thinks a book will sell (hence, bring in money) they'll likely publish it.
Most conservative publishers, like Regnery, publish non-fiction. You are talking about fiction.
You can't go right to a publisher. You have to have an agent.
I am assuming that your fiction does not lean heavily on characters experiencing racism and prejudice against their sexual orientation, main characters who are passive victims. These tend to be the themes of literary fiction and Pulitzer winners, but you need an agent before you start worrying about publishers.
'Conservative' themes in fiction generally mean genuine heroes, adventure, quests, little or no graphic sexual scenes, and good people trying to do the best they can under trying circumstances.
'Conservative' themed fiction also does not spend a lot of time exploring dead-end issues of psychological makeup of the character.
All this puts you more or less into the categories of romance, detective fiction, etc. These are called 'genre' fiction.
So think of it that way.
Agents specialize. There are agents who specialize in women's sob-story fiction, in 'literary' fiction, in westerns and war stories. Find out via the Internet the name of an agent who most nearly matches what you are writing.
Then go to New York and pester the agent until you can get him or her to go to lunch with you and beg them to consider your manuscript.
Can you imagine a world without hypothetical questions?
While it's never a good idea to totally ignore the market, I personally believe that you need to write the book that's in you, the one that you wake up excited to write every day. If it's good, it'll eventually find a home.
Start plotting :)
My book, THE JUSTICE COOPERATIVE, was rejected by not only major publishing houses but several agents because of its pro-gun theme. I ended up with a small press, ELDERBERRY PRESS, because I didn't want to go the whole way of self-publishing.
What it amounts to is there are ways to get your book out, but you will have to figure on doing a lot of the promotion yourself.
