Question: I want to get published!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Can anyone tell me where to attempt to market a manuscript of about 450 pages that is a science fiction erotica novel!? I believe most publishers would classify it as Paranormal romance" these days!. I am a first time author without an agent and I am not interested in POD or vanity presses!. Feel free to email me through this site if you want to know more about it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know the Wild Rose Press publishes Paranormal Romance!. I am not sure if that is the same as Sci-Fi erotica!. I have a friend who has had several books published by them!. Her first book, Canyon Wolf Bride, is pretty awesome! That is the only one I have read so far!.
Good luck! I am writing a sci-fi one myself right now!. Don't know if it will go to a publisher or not!.!.!.I just like writing it!

You and a few hundred thousand other people!.

Get a copy of Writer's Market and see if there are any agents recruiting who take your style of fiction!. Your first step (assuming you've done the proofreading/editing/getting a critique/editing stages) is to become a first time author WITH an agent :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Edit your book 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, and get it proofread by someone who knows what they are doing (don't rely just on spellcheck)!. Edit it some more!.

There are a tiny number of publishers that accept unsolicited manuscripts (those that don't go through a literary agent), so getting an agent first is a really good idea!.

At the library or bookstore is Guide to Literary Agents, published by Writer's Digest, or Bowker's Literary Marketplace (or visit http://www!.agentquery!.com)!. Look for agents that specialize in your genre, and are looking for new clients!. Read, and follow, their submission guidelines!. In those books will be something about writing a query letter, which is what you send to the agent, first!. It's part synopsis of your book, and part explanation as to why your book deserves to be published!. You have only that one-page letter to wow the agent, so take the time to make it a good one!. Expect the whole process to take lots of time, and expect many rejections!. When you are accepted by an agent, they will send your book to publishers, not you!. The whole process is free, except for postage, until your book is bought by a publisher!. That is when the agent gets their cut (usually 15%) of the money which would go to you!. But, worry about finishing your story, first!.

1!. Type "publish a book" in the search bar!. This question gets asked roughly 20 times a day!.

2!. Start referring to the word count, not page count of your novel; that is the way the industry works!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
