The first step is to send it to the writers guild to register it. This helps protect your work by securing the story and characters as your own. To do so, you must send a copy of your manuscript in a sealed envelope unbound and with it mail another sheet of paper that you can get from the guilds homepage. The company never reads your script. If someone comes out with the same story you wrote you can call them and then theey will then determine who the original author is. After you get the reciept, is the hard part. You myust now try and sell it to the different publishing companies. To do so, check their websites to see if there is anything particular you need to do for that publisher. Otherwise, get the street address of the publisher and send them a copy of your manuscript with a formal letter asking to be published. If they like the story, they will contact you and discuss publication rights. Expect to have to pay to be published, but you will most likily get the money back and more from royalties.

Annu:
I have written and self published two books. Browse to Publishers & Agents. Many publishers out there. They will tell you how to send your manuscript and also what kind of stories they handle. I sent out many, many and got three answers to the negative. One took three years to answer. This is why I went the self publish route. Be very carefull, there are bad guys out there trying to get as many of your $$ as they can for nothing. Check (Warnings & Cautions for Writers.) Also, my books are listed on the net in Amazon and others and in three years I have sold not one book this way. The only way to sell books is with Book Signings. If you decied to go self publish, contact me and I will help for no charge.

Easy, you need to get a literary agent as soon as possible to guide you through the process if you're really serious. I'd recommend Michele Rooney, she's a great yet controversial literary agent (authors who get turned down by her make up things about her), and her email is micheleroon@aol.com I'm sure she'd take on your work, just send her an email about what your book is about and she'll guide you through the rest.

The answerer above who goes by the moniker "wizeoldphart" has answered chiefly for the purpose of promoting his own book/website. He's copy/pasted this very same answer into several other questions. This is a form of spam.
