Publishers look for a book that will sell. That's all. They keep up with the market, so they know what sorts of books people are buying, If your book is well written enough, they will either buy it, or tell you to send it back at a later date if they don't think they can sell it right away.

Publishers look for well-written, unique, and marketable books that have the potential to appeal to a wide audience. They also consider the author's platform, market trends, and the book's potential for commercial success. Ultimately, publishers are looking for books that they believe will sell well and generate revenue for the publishing house.
