Every aspiring writer wants to see his name on the cover of a book. In this information age, there are many ways to do this. This process takes time, perseverance and dedication, but the reward can be sufficient.
Instructions
Step 1
Meet the agents and publishers that represent your genre. Join formal and informal writing groups in your area. Among them, you will definitely find those who personally know the agents or publishers, and who will help you meet with them. Try emailing the publisher and wait for a response.
Step 2
Write a short and long summary of your manuscript. The short overview should cover only the main events of the book, and the long one should cover all the scenes described. Agents and publishers won't have time to read and imagine your entire manuscript, so it is very important to get the story right on your resume.
Step 3
Make an appointment with editorial representatives face to face. Some of them often organize conferences for writers to meet with them personally and discuss all the details of the publication of the publication. These people are almost always busy, so your time to communicate with them will be very limited. Bring your novel manuscript and your resume. There are many guidelines out there that provide information on how to style them, so check them out to help you get your paperwork up and running. Correctly formatted manuscripts are printed on a quality printer, which indicates the seriousness of your intentions to publish the novel.
Step 4
Submit your manuscript by mail if you are unable to meet with the publisher in person. If you are an experienced author and have published works behind you, be sure to indicate this in the letter and attach some interesting examples of your texts, this will help you make a choice in your favor.
Step 5
Keep looking for a publisher until the book is accepted and published. Sometimes the work can only be reviewed after some time when it is re-sent to the same publisher. It is best to wait about six months before retransmitting. Publisher requirements are constantly changing and what was initially rejected may now be in high demand.
