A legitimate publisher will pay YOU for YOUR work, if it is good enough. Get a book from the library about how to get published and follow the directions. The book doesn't have to be complete before you shop for a publisher.

If you publish it yourself, it will cost you. There is never something for nothing. A legit publisher will pay you for your manuscript because they will make money when it is sold to consumers.

Go to the library and get the Writer's Market publication. It will list which publishers accept unsolicited manuscripts. Many do not.

Vanity publishers cost money. A real publishing house NEVER charges money. Vanity presses will publish anything, without editing or quality control. If you just want to put something in a nice binding, go to a print shop instead of those scam artists.

different publishers favor different formats. some favor double spaced pages, others are pleased with unmarried. virtually none favor a line between paragraphs because it extremely is in many circumstances used to point a sparkling scene. in simple terms indent the first line of each paragraph. so some distance as getting it printed, the great suggestion is to purchase or borrow a duplicate of this years Writers marketplace, that could grant you with the assistance you want on publishers, cover letters and brokers. it should be an excellent waste of money to mail out your manuscript to businesses that do not post the shape of e book you've written, or that do, yet are not at the moment accepting submissions or who in person-friendly words settle for them via an agent. also, the e book can grant you with elements for lesser prevalent publishers or brokers that should be more advantageous prepared to take a shot with a first time author.

a REAL publisher pays YOU, not the other way around! Never pay anyone to read your book, no legitimate publisher/editor/agent will ask you to!
There is vanity publishing, which does cost money. You pay a place to print some books you wrote, but not a lot and not for commercial selling. It's mostly just to show off to your friends and say "yep, I wrote a book"

anyway here's a site that may help w/the children's book thing

I don't know what you mean by free. A commercial publisher pays you, and you get a share of what he sells. There are many who specialize in children's books.

A vanity publisher - you pay him to publish whatever you want and you handle selling.

To connect with professional writers who can and will give you advice, try the website http://www.burryman.com.

Otherwise, I'd suggest you try Writers Market or the Children's Writers & Illustrators Market.
