What does it mean when a book publisher says they wont accept any unsolicited submissions from people trying to get theyre stuff published, e.g. comic books?
Answer
Publishers normally don't take manuscripts (or comic books) directly from an author, especially an unpublished one.
You have to find an agent, who is willing to represent you and that person will get in contact with the publisher.
Good luck and do some research some place more reliable than YA.
Best wishes.

How do I find a book publisher that will publish for free?

I'm looking for a book publisher who will publish underage authors books for free, (my friend's an author).
Answer
You start by querying literary agents. This is done with a one page letter describing yourself and your book. Sometimes the agent will request you include the first few pages or chapters, but that is an individual preference.
There are several websites out there that will help you find an agent, my favorite is QueryTracker.net at http://www.querytracker.net/ . It is free and has a list of literary agents and also tools to help you keep track of who you already queried and who you haven't, plus more.
They do a good job of keeping the crooks off their lists, but it is still a good idea to double check at http://www.sfwa.org/beware/twentyworst.html.
There are a lot of crooks out there. Never pay anyone to read or publish your book. A real agent will never ask for money except as a percentage of your royalties.
Keep in mind that finding an agent and getting published is not an easy process. Some people have to query hundreds of agents before they find one who will accept them (sadly, some never get accepted), but be persistent and keep trying.
You should also visit http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums one of the largest forums for writers. They can be very helpful.
