HOW TO GET A BOOK PUBLISHED AND BE ON YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS How To Get a Book Published: Have you written a manuscript and would like to turn it into a published book? It is simple to get a book published. Some people find it hard finding the right publisher. If you are a novice in publishing, it is better not to jump at the first opportunity. Look around, search and research. If you have been writing for a while, that could be an easy task.

How to Get a book published in few step!

There are a few steps to follow to get into book publication. They are easy enough if you are determined enough.

1.

Before searching for a good publishing house, whether online or the conventional

one, be sure that you have re-read your manuscript over and over again. Do your own editing. If you think you have done enough, think again, ask someone to read your manuscript; make sure it is someone who is not afraid to be critical to you.

2.

Learn about how publishing works. That is one sure way to get a book published;

if you have the first hand knowledge in how it is done. Take some time out to read everything that you can about the publishing business. If you know someone who works for a publishing house, that’s better, you can have a personal tour around the premises and inquire. You can also of course search online. There are people you can chat up that might give you the general idea on the subject.

3.

Submit your manuscript to your chosen publisher; you can opt to send it to at

least two houses. Always submit manuscripts with a cover letter. A cover letter must contain some information about yourself, the manuscript, and you have to include the reason why you think they are the right house to publish your work. Be natural, be


honest, do not follow any rules on how to write a cover letter, and just let the words flow.

4.

Do your homework. Once you have found a good editor and the right publishing

house, you are only half way there. More work is needed. If you think the manuscript you have done will be accepted like cake on a plate, then you are wrong. Publishing houses have editors to make your days miserable. Editors are there to guide writers, though sometimes, writers see it the other way. The look at editors as pain in their ass, that is because these editors can’t seem to be contend with what the writers are offering them. Well, try to see from the editor’s point of view, they want the writers to do their homework, and sadly most writers are not good at taking instructions. That’s where the trouble begins. But everything can be worked with a little patience from both sides, so that eventually both parties will gain what they have hoped for in the first place. Just keep on thinking that you will not be asked to do more with your work if they are not considering you good enough to be published.
