Answer 1

A good place to meet other artists and possible get agents to also look at work would be to visit sites such as Artist N Artists- I came across this while I was trying to push my work out! I'm sure someone int he business would have the correct answer to your question here.

Hope this helps!

How To Get Something Published

Answer 3

published

Answer 4

You need to submit your book to a publisher who will decide if it is worth publishing.

Before doing so, you would be well-advised to use a spell checker AND a proof reader. "Etcetera" abbreviated is "etc." and the correct spelling is copyright. Equally, i should be I.

There are a LOT of companies out there called "Vanity publishers". You submit your book to them, they say wonderful things to you and then offer you a deal whereby you PAY them to publish your book. DON'T TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGEPOLE - no one has EVER sold a book that way.

If you have what you think is a good book and can't find a publisher, one option is to self-publish. This involves finding a printer - try Google - and getting your book printed. You then have the problem of selling it.

Copyright is another matter - you need to read up on this. In fact, you need to read up on all of the associated things you need to do when publishing such as getting an ISBN, submitting copies to the statutory bodies etc. It is quite a formidable task, but well worth it if you have something saleable.

Charles Dickens self-published his first books.

Finally, of course UK writers do NOT have to submit a copy to the Library of Congress and Writers' Market is a US publication - that's the problem with US citizens, as always, answering questions on the UK site.

Answer 5

For detailed information on submitting a manuscript consult the current Writer's Market found at your local library or bookstore. Find a literary agent listed that will accept the genre of your writing and follow their submission guidelines to the letter.

Prepare the best ever query letter you can do and send it to the agent.

Publishing houses, except for vanity publishers, rarely accept manuscripts from unpublished authors.

Regarding copyright laws, log on to copyright.gov/ and read carefully what you must do to register your works with the Library of Congress. The fee is between $35 to $45 and the waiting time to receive your registration is eight months. Your manuscript, however, is automatically copyrighted for you when formed into a hard copy. There is no need to mail a copy of the manuscript back to you to prove at a later date such works are of your origin.

Hi Kitty. I have to disagree. Those misguided in their publishing/writing expectations are "beginning writers," not exclusively teenagers. In my experience, teens tend to be more realistic about writing/publishing than beginning adult writers. I think it has something to do with aging (and perhaps a sense of entitlement *due* to their age). Teens are allowed to fail; they have their whole life ahead of them to improve...that's a teen's mentality. Whereas adults tend to race the clock and think their age, credentials, and past experiences qualify them enough to publish. Adults are more likely to misjudge their "skills" and over reach in their expectations. They aren't used to deferring to another's opinion or asking for help. Teens are. I wouldn't tie publishing credentials to life experience, at all. Learning the mechanics of writing, story telling, and sitting down to practice, all have very little to do with life experience. You don't have to experience domestic abuse to write it well, for instance. There's plenty of amateur writers, seasoned in years, who can't write a realistic character despite having lived long enough to know how people behave, speak, and think. I've actually critiqued one person on this website and instead of learning from their mistakes, they've lashed out viciously and are still lashing out, months later. I have YET to have a teenager troll me, swear at me, slander me, harass me, and threaten me for a critique. What does that tell you? Teen publishing is very realistic if that teenager can write at publishable quality. They just have to learn what "publishable quality" is instead of mimicking poor quality writing. And sadly, today's YA fiction (written by adults, I might add), misguides them.
