Answer 1

Query letters to Agents and Editors at Kensington Publishing in NY. They have an erotic imprint. Break a leg

Answer 2

If all you want to do is get your book published and available you can self-publish at lulu.com for free (NO MARKETING).

If you're looking to have your book published, promoted, sold and all that by a publishing house, then the process is much more complicated.

See the below website and following books for information:

Answer 3

You need a list of publishers - such as the Writers & Artists yearbook.

This will tell you what genres each publishing house deals with.
It will also tell you if they accept unsolicited manuscripts.

You don't have to have an agent - as you have to pay for them, and they will take a cut of any deal you make.


You could try Virago Press - they only publish women authors

Answer 4

You must be very skilled to have accomplished so much at such a young age. How old are you? Really? Good luck getting recognized but understand that rejection is a powerful wall that has to be scaled and it's a sheer cliff of a tidal wave that you're heading into sideways. TURN TURN TURN
