Answer 2

Go to the library and look in the card catalog,under "How to publish a book? We all can't help but notice your bad typing, spelling and grammar. Maybe you could take a refresher class on English at the local college for starters. Some publishers will publish a book without money up front, but unfortunately most want upfront money to publish a certain amount of books. It is a grueling, hard knock struggle to get a book published unless you pay up front.

Answer 3

To publish a book you're going to have to be willing to put up with looking for the right publisher.

And you WILL have to pay a publisher for making the books, because it takes their own time and money to print them. It comes out of the profit of your books when they get sold.

The difference in how much you get paid depends on whether or not the book that is being sold is hardcover or paperback, and the costs that are taken away are for: labor, time, and materials. You get the rest for being the author.

Unless you are self-publishing, which from what I gather is quite expensive, you need an agent to be your PR with the publishing houses. If not, they tend to not pay attention.

Answer 4

If you have to pay to get your work published, you'll only find trouble. Agencies which charge their clients for publishing are only after your money. If you only want a copy to have on your own bookshelf and a few to give to your friends, then go for it.

However, if you actually intend to sell your work, then find a literary agent who believes in your material enough to try to pass it along to a reputable publishing house (with, I hope, a very patient editor). The agent may charge a fee up-front and take a percentage of your earnings, but the cost of publishing will be paid for by the publisher. To them, it's an investment in the profit they'll make from your work.

Answer 5

Try going to Rosedog books on the web--Google it, I can't remember the URL--they publish and do all the dirty stuff; the marketing is still yours to do however, but it's a place to start.

Answer 6

First of all, I think you need to improve your spelling. Unless you can write correct English, and not just SMS lingo, I doubt whether any publisher will accept your work.
Unless of course, English is not your mother tongue. In that case, write in the language that you speak and write correctly.
Looking forward to buying your book.

Answer 7

Self-publishing costs, but if you find a "real' publisher, then you won't have costs, right?

Just found some websites that you could investigate:

instantpublisher.com (for online publishing)

authorsteam.com (finding agents)

There are tons more sites which will help you!!

Answer 8

I think it would be difficult to get a book published with such terrible grammar. No editor would waste their time on you.
