Answer 1

Sorry, but its going to take a whole lot longer, and thats even if the book is good enough to put into print as is... and I'm sure its not.

You need to do some research. Get some magazines on writing and the writing market, The Writer, Writers Digest, etc...they also have web sites.

No publisher is going to "communicate" with you untill the see your work.

There are lots of lists of publisher, but be careful that they are legit, lots of scams out there too. find one for your genre (lots of YA publishers) and read their submission guildlines FOLLOW them and do yoru thing.

This one is free and has lots of listings

Answer 2

u need 2 find an agent who will help u find a publisher. publishing companies usually do not accept ur book unless u have an agent. u need 2 query the agent and c if he will take ur manuscript. remember, no agent charges money just 2 read the book, unless they r a false agent. they get a portion of the money that u make off the book, but that's it. also, u have 2 sell rights 2 the publishing company, that is 2 say, allow them 2 print it 4 a certain time. never sell ur copyright 2 them, or else it will b their book, just like the wrote it. if u accidentally sell ur copyright, there is no way 2 get it back. check out www.hollylisle.com. she explains it better.

Answer 3

Try Bezalel Books of Waterford, Michigan. You'll have to search for their website. If your book is too graphic, they won't be interested, but if it's fit for kids, great.
