I'm a 17 year old wanting to get a book published?how should i approach the publisher?

Question

its barely a 100page children novel.I dont even know who are the good publishers in india.i want to know the procedure of publishing.also how should i trust the publisher

Answer 1

Of course,as a17 year old. You have to call on the publishers & always give them the xerox copy of your novel with your signature in every page....and you can't trust one.

Answer 2

Get a copy of Writer's Market and approach an agent instead. Most publishers are not even going to look at your manuscript. But find an agent who works with similar writing.

Answer 3

The best way to find out about getting a book publish is to go to your local newspaper and ask for advice. I'm sure the editorial staff wouldn't mind spending some time with a young writer and explaining a few things about publishing. Publishers have a reputation to protect so I guess..all of them can be trusted, so don't worry. On my part, I have browse many sites and these are a few that I think you may want to check out. You can learn about self publishing and using a publishing house. Good luck with your book.
