Answer 1

If you're asking you want it to be published you'll have to type it on a computer, usually on a word processor.

Then you can go to lulu.com and publish it, or publishamerica.com

Answer 2

HOW TO GET A BOOK PUBLISHED

1. Get the current Writer's Market book--either in your library or bookstore.

2. Search the endless lists of literary agents that might best accept your genre.

3. Submit your manuscript, the first three chapters, or your query letter according to the agent's submission guidelines. Be exact in what they require. Otherwise, they trash the manuscript and send only to you a "no thanks."

4. Finding representation for an unpublished author is next to impossible. Build up your credentials by submitting good articles to magazines. Here again, you must go by their submission guidelines.

5. Hone the craft of writing. Make certain your manuscript is free of misspellings, inappropriate use of punctuation, switching of tenses, and fancy fonts.

6. Get a copy of "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White. Read it, highlight important instruction, and keep it near your keyboard.


One last suggestion: Write your book, edit it repeatedly for grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and then submit the manuscript.
