What are the details and steps towards getting a book published?
What are some good small publishers to go through?
What about getting a story copy written?
First, buy a copy of "Writer’s Market" to learn about the publishing process as well as to discover which publishing companies might be interested in the genre of your proposed book. You will find the small publishers listed there, too. You are advised not to register your manuscript with the Library of Congress as future confusion may result if it is accepted for publication; what you write is automatically copyrighted as you write it. You will most probably require a literary agent to represent your manuscript in the attempt to sell it to a publisher as most will only work through agents rather than with the author; names of literary agents and the genres which they represent will also be available in "Writer’s Market". Be aware, though, that, unless you self-publish at your own expense (which results are scorned by the legitimate publishing community), it may be very very difficult for you to find a publisher willing to pay you for your manuscript if you are unknown and previously unpublished. Those companies are in business to make money so are reluctant to invest in an unknown quantity; far too often the fate of a the first-time writer is rejection. However, you may be truly talented and have written a unique and compelling manuscript, so do make the attempt to find a publisher. Good luck!
okay, i am not in with all of the little odds and ends, but this is the best of my knowledge
step one, finish your story and edit it as best you can. (for first time writers)
write a query letter (you can read online how to write one)
you then will need to find an agent, and since it sounds like you’re going towards a small publishing company, you won’t need some world renown agent, when you give them your query letter, they can help you find a publisher that is right for you genre of book, there are many small publishers for certain genre of story.
hope i helped! do your research!
