Authors don't "choose" publishers. Publishers choose authors. Publishing contracts are notoriously unfair to the author. The publisher has right of first refusal on new books, but the author has very few rights at all if they leave. Publishers don't care about their authors, either, unless they're someone like Patterson or King that makes them money and is high profile.
