Publishing house is the term for the business, used in every language market that has one and understood by authors, agents, and readers alike. It carries a weight that “publisher” alone doesn’t, suggesting a building and a list rather than a person with an imprint.
The name fits an actual publisher, a directory of publishers for authors seeking representation, a publishing services company, an industry association, or a resource about the business of books. The directory reading is the most immediately useful: writers looking for a home for a manuscript are a large, motivated audience with nowhere authoritative to start.
On the .org, the association and nonprofit readings come forward. University presses, literary nonprofits, and small press collectives all use that extension, and they’re a real segment of the industry.
Two words, no hyphen, spelled the same everywhere, and describing a business with several centuries behind it.
