where should i go to get book pubilshed?

Answer 1

As usual, you have been given some bad information from people who post here not really knowing what they are talking about. What people won't do for 2 points and the chance to act like an expert.

#1 If you want your book published by a major publisher, you DO NOT mail it to a major publishing house. Major publishers do not accept unsolicited queries. They deal with major agents. If you mail a manuscript to a major publisher you just wasted the cost of printing it plus the cost of printing. It will go into a slush room and never be heard from again. Always read submission guidelines. You will see specifically which publishers do not accept unsolicited queries. Don't bother to send them ANYTHING. Waste of your time and money.

#2 Self publishers are the worst possible scenario. In publishing a book, the idea is to have money flowing TOWARD the author - not away. In self publishing, you pay. And then you pay some more. And then you pay more. Your books are not available in bookstores. They may be available online, but unless you PAY to advertise and market them, nobody knows they are there. The average sales for a self published book are about 100 or roughly 2/3 of your friends and family. If it is a book that involves young adults - most of them do not buy books online because they aren't old enough to own credit cards. Self publishing is a dead end. About 9 books that were self published went onto the best seller list. One was Wayne Dyer. Another was The Celestine Prophecy. But their authors spent thousands of dollars promoting the books and literally traveling the country selling them out of the trunks of their cars. Is that the kind of deal you want? If you have spent a lot of time and effort on a book and you truly believe in it, you owe it to yourself to spend at least twice as long trying to sell it traditionally as you did writing it. Gone With the Wind was rejected 50 times. Stephen King got so frustrated with Carrie that he threw it away and his wife rescued it from the trash. I believe James Patterson was rejected about 70 times. That is the nature of the beast. However, if you publish traditionally, you are considered a "published author". If you pay and self publish you are considered "a guy whose check cleared the bank." They will publish anything. I could publish the Chinatown Phone Book if I wanted to pay for it.

#3 NO NO NO Do not copyright your work! You own the rights to your work the minute they are written. But the surest way to annoy a publisher or agent or editor is to purchase a copyright. It says to them "I don't trust you." Believe me when I tell you that publishers and agents have absolutely zero interest in stealing your work. They get millions of them. Why steal yours. Don't even bother to use the so called "Poor Man's Copyright". It is totally useless. I will say this again. I must say it 50 times a day. A COPYRIGHT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE BADASS LAWYER YOU PAY TO DEFEND IT.

Keep your work off the internet and you have no problem. If you post it, it can and will be stolen. And there is absolutely no way for you to afford to sue someone in Holland or Japan who plagiarizes your work. Your loss. Furthermore, publishers want nothing to do with material previously posted online. It just means that they have expensive legal fees establishing you as the true owner and they will simply not go to that expense on a new author. If they Google and find you listed in some fiction forum, consider your work declined because there is a 100% chance it has been plagiarized.

I seriously wish people would not post incorrect information. If you don't know - don''t post. Giving wrong information harms potential authors' chances.

The best thing you can do is get yourself a copy of Writers Market and read it cover to cover. In it you will find many small publishing houses you can contact using their proper submission requirements. Learn to write a query letter, a synopsis and a book proposal because those documents are the most important things you will ever write. While he is not my favorite author, Nicholas Sparks has a wonderful online tutorial on his website.

Also if you go to my starred Q and A on my profile you will see I star all good Q and A on writing and publishing. Many very competent and successful authors have posted here. Just ignore the thumbs down ones. You can skim through them and print out ones you think will help you. I do it so new authors can access the great info archived here without having to weed through the Harry Potter/Twilight/Clique junk.

Sorry about the poor information you got.

Very small considering that maximum writers would be rejected earlier they even attain a writer. you may not undergo scholastic, a literary agent has to undergo them.

Answer 3

Obtain a copyright, before you search for a publisher and do not sign over your copyright to any publisher.
Copyright applications can be obtained from The Library of Congress; copyright fees are about $30.00, per work.
Publishers have access to the names and adresses of all new copyright owners, not the actual work.
Once you own a copyright, some independent publishers will contact you, offering to publish your work, for a fee.
