Make a list of the ones whose look and style appeal to you. Then put together a 1 - 3 page synopsis of your setting. Send this with a friendly email to the publishers on your list. Make the email short, but well written and professional, and even a little complimentary. You'll want your synopsis to convey the distinct flavor of your setting; what sets it apart from other settings. Don't be afraid to give it a label if you think it warrants one (high fantasy, medieval, eastern, exotic, orient-influenced, gothic, etc.) But let the publishers know you have a larger sample if they're interested, and that you would welcome their opinion and their time if they chose to receive that larger sample. A larger sample should showcase plenty of flavor text as well as mechanics, and personally, I'm happy when I receive setting excerpts that are between 20 and 50 pages long. Some publishers have lots of small projects earmarked in their schedule for the sake of keeping things rolling, but they can shift things around to make room for a larger project if that larger project is intriguing enough. Settings require lots of art and layout time, but if your setting appeals, someone out there may be willing to risk the investment of time and money. You never know until you try.Good luck with it!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
