My first book was published in 2018. However, the publishers (name withheld) have since disappeared. There website is gone, there have been no recent posts on the usual social media suspects, etc. My book is still being sold under their name on Amazon, however I would like to re-publish with someone else if possible. I've read my contract and as far as I can tell the term of the contract was for two years (renewable by mutual agreement). I was hoping for some advice as to where I stand with approaching agents, etc. Also, how do I get it removed from Amazon.
I am looking for some advice on where to start:) I have collaborated with an illiustrator to create a gory picture story book ( think Edward Gorey, Tim Burton). This would we be a book with short stories ( maybe 4 or 5) and the first draft ( first story) is finished. I am not sure which category this would be - would the book appeal to children or adults and what exact genre that would be. So I am looking for any advice how to start and where to start looking ( do we approach agents etc...) Any help would be much appreciated.
