how to write

i have written a book and don't know how to get if published could any one help me. 🙁

Well you have to write a proposal (to sell the idea) to publishers. Usually you send the proposal/idea with a few chapter samples. Try the book WRITER'S MARKET for where to send proposals.

ok i will have to try that it is 90 pages and their will be five books in the entire seires.

You must also remember to copyright each page (name and date) and send a SASE with your stuff if you want a response or get your writing back. They may require a disk also. I really advise against doing this stuff over the Internet.

ok i also want to make this book of mine a movie.And my friend told me that he would make it a video game.i don't know if any one would like it but i hope it will turn out good.

Good Luck!

I have written a book too, and the general advice i was given by a professional, is to find an agent.

be careful with the agents.

ok

well i HAVE published a book, but it is not out just yet, i'm still waiting on the editor's proofs, check out PublishAmerica.com, they are very helpful, and don't worry about doing it over the internet, i emailed the whole thing to them, and they liked it, and sent me a contract to look over, during that time, i sent it to the library of congress to get it copyrighted, check out libraryofcongress.org for more info on that, other than that, good luck and if you have any more questions pm me or email me at [email protected]

get an agent if youre serious about wanting to publish. most publishing houses will NOT even look at your stuff w/o an agent.

ok thanks

yeah, get an agent first, it helps, best site i found so far is writtersservices.com for a list of agents

thanks

ok

I don't know how old you are, but if you're a teenager, you might try http://www.thesunmagazine.org/
They publish fiction, poetry, photography, interviews, etc.

thanks

ok, first of all Publish America might not be the best place to start. My brother got accepted and a contract from them, but we had the contract reviewed by our lawyer friend and he advised us to seek other places.

Publish America:
1.) Does not promote your book
2.) Sale your book at a VERY expensive price, therefore no one buys your book. Example, they had this 90-page toddler book jacked up to $14.99, plus tax. This was only after the 25% discount from Barnes and Noble!
3.) Years to come, when you want to publish more books, you will want teriminate your contract with them, which is another legal battle that I don't even want to get into.

Just the pasing the word.
Do what you will . .. no, what you must.
IMPORTANT: Do not sign on the dotted lines.

You will regret it.
I'm talking from experience.
