Once you've written a book, what can u do?

Question: Once you've written a book, what can u do!?

I've been working on a book targeted at a teen audience, and it's finally completed!. It's inspired by Japanese culture and is about the soulsearching of the main character!. Since I'm just a teenager with ambitions of getting my book published, what can I do!? I'm currently working on its sequel!. Any ideas to help an aspiring novelist!? Thanks! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

After you finish with your story, edit it several times to make it the best it can be!. Type it in proper manuscript form (visit http://www!.writersdigest!.com to find out what is needed)!. Consider joining a local writer's group to get feedback from other would-be writers (the more feedback you can get, the better)!. Get it proofread by someone who knows what they are doing (don't rely just on spellcheck)!. Edit your story some more!.

Now you can start looking for a literary agent!. There are a tiny number of publishers who accept unsolicited manuscripts (those that don't go through an agent), so getting an agent is a really good idea!. But, perfect your manuscript, first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Introduce all characters at each point of the story, all their characteristics, mannerisms, personality, thoughts, appearance, etc!.
Then, using your imagination write what happens in the story!. Use descriptive language and strong words but make sure people can easily understand it!. To test the story and see if it's good enough or needs more work, get other people to read it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

do you mean like publishing it!?
Well try finding books that relate to yours go to the front of the book and find which publications it was with!. Give em a ring and keep going
Good luck on the story!.
I will try to read itWww@QuestionHome@Com
