how do you publish an anime book?

Question

I want to know how do you publish an anime book. I've been writing one without the art. Can you tell me?

Answer 1

Maybe you could clarify. Is it a graphic novel, and you want anime-style art? Is it a book ABOUT a specific anime? Is it a book about the history of anime?

If you are writing a graphic novel, you are going to need to locate an illustrator you can work with and trust. Callaborations can be extremely rewarding, but legally tricky. You'll want a written agreement spelling out who owns what and who gets what if you get a book deal.

Then you would need to locate a publisher that is interested in graphic novels. (I've already posted rather lengthy discussions regarding how to find a publisher. If you are really interested simply search Yahoo Answers for them).

If you are looking to write a book ABOUT a specific anime, you are talking about fan fiction. You cannot legally publish fan fiction without the expressed permission of the copyright holder.

Answer 2

what do you mean, an anime book? the whole point of anime is that it's animated! manga is the book form - it's the romanji form of the japanese word こん, meaning cartoon. it comes in magazines. also, how can you have a manga without art? that's what it is! a cartoon is pictures!

oh, well. if you explain than i can probably help you. :)
