Question: If i wanted to write a book how would I go about getting published!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Complete the book and if it is good enough, pick up a copy of "Writers Market" for a list of Literary Agents and Publishers!. That same book will tell you what they each specialize in (genre)!. And it will also tell you what they want from you!.!.!. like a one page query letter or a proposal!. It will explain what a proposal is!.

Then sit back and wait for a reply!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are confident that your work is ready for the world to read, then you can use any number of websites out there who can inexpensively publish a limited number of copies for you!.

Your best bet from there would be to try and get a local bookstore to stock a few copies for you!.

I would google "self publish a book" and see where that takes you!.

lulu!.com is a pretty good place for this, btw!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Start with editing it!. Make sure it's perfect!. Then go to a school of a silbing or yours and share!. You could go to any school if you want!. Then I'd start with writing more and selling them at a library!.

Then again, if your stories aren't that great, I'd start with one copy at a time!. But I'm sure they are!. :DWww@QuestionHome@Com
