Finding the Right Software Publisher?

Posted by Cliff on Friday September 6, 2002 @07:26AM from the needles-in-haystacks dept.

Ace905 asks: "I am a software developer looking to market my product, and after weeks of research and rejections I've come to a few conclusions that I hope are wrong; Software Publishers are looking almost exclusively for Game Software, To get big you have to already be big, and nobody comes to you even when you have a great product! I'm wondering if any other developers have similar experiences marketing their life's work? Are there any publishing companies that actively persue new developers? Where does a developer go to sell their cross-platform utility software? Your feedback is much appreciated!"

like with a mail order business spun off a website with some demoware?

Publish a couple of advertisements in magazines read by your target market.

In the short term, burn your own CDs and get a local publishing house to create some glossy user manual and CD covers.
