I have offered to help a friend's son translate his father's novel from
Serbian, if we can find a publisher.  Are there any in Ann Arbor who might
be interested?  How do we go about looking for one?  I presume it would help
to first translate a chapter.

Is Ardis Press still there?  They might be interested.

Under Publishers-Book the yellow pages lists:
AATEC Publications
Gale Research
Huron Valley (course packs...)
Lewis (Chelsea address)
Olivia and Hill
Personnel Management Abstracts
Pierian Press
Procor Publications (subsidized, rewriting...)
Promotional Perspectives
Prote US TSM
Prow Press
Regnet Hall
RObbie Dean (books, multi-cultural and special needs, international journal
for teachers of English Writing Skills....)
Sleeping Bear Press
Star Mountain Press
Time One Ink Lts
Vantage Press (book manuscripts invited, new authors welcome)
Vocal Arts Info Services
Wahr George Publishing Inc
Winsted Publications

No Ardis.  Which of the above might I contact?
This would be really important to the writer, who has been unemployed for two
years (mining engineer, no local jobs) and has written several novels.  I
thought the political situation might have generated more than average
interest in anything Serbian.  The novels are not political.

That's because they aren't in AA anymore.  Sorry.
The editorial office is now at:

Ardis Publishers
24721 El Camino Capistrano
Dana Point, CA 92629 USA

They publish mostly Russian language books and 
translations of same, but they might be interested
in a Serbian work.  You might want to browse their
web site.  http://www.ardisbooks.com

Thanks, I e-mailed them asking for suggestions.  Carl Proffer taught
Russian Lit while I was studying Slavic Linguistics same department.

They said to try Northwest University Publishers and Farrar, neither of which
I could find on the web, and then said to look them up in Writer's Handbook
at Borders.  Will do so after I see the novels in question.  Just what I need
is one more project.  (I still have not updated the last 300 page book I
typed, or put it online.)
