how do i approach publishers ?or get my work noticed?

Answer 1

Ok, first of all you misspelled the word "pursue." Spelling is super-important in writing, so you need to be careful with that.

I belong to a local writer's group and have found that the critique I receive there has been amazingly helpful in improving my writing. In fact, I credit that as to why I was hired last year to do a weekly free-lance community column in the newspaper.

Try to find a writer's group first of all. If you want to learn and find out information about publishing, etc. a good group can be really helpful.

There are books out there that list publishers and what kind of writing they are looking to publish.

An important fact to remember: edit, edit, and edit. Rewrite until you are sure it cannot be improved upon...it's hard to stick with this, but believe me, it's worth it.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I appreciate writing fan fiction, or perhaps as i replaced into engaged on one tale, I were given an theory for yet another one which ruled my options a lot that I had to stop the single i replaced into engaged on to jot down the hot one. It replaced into the about the evening Bruce Wayne's (Batman) mom and father were murdered, and it replaced into instructed contained in the infrequently-used 2d-man or woman form.

Answer 3

approach publishers and try to see if they want to publish your work
