ideally you would have someone acting as an editor to preview your work before you submit it to a publisher, keep in mind alot of publishers work with agents of writers and might not take submission

I was going to suggest purchasing a book called Writers Market that lists publications- what they look to publish and how to get them published. I noticed though, that they do have a website as well: www.writersmarket.com.  I have used the book several times and because there is so much information it is not always user-friendly, but it will get the job done for you.....

First, you need to learn that auther does not have an e in it. Professional is also spelled incorrectly in your subtitle. Never abbreviate in your final copy by saying pls instead of please. Most novelists that I've worked with are aware of grammatical and mechanizational english. Next, you need to write something. It takes a lot of grit to write your first book and I wish you the best of luck. Next, send off your manuscripts to LOTS of different publishing houses. Go to your local library and no matter how often you're turned down, keep trying. If it's worth it, someone will buy the rights to it. Hope that helps...

Contact publishers!\n\nAuthor/agent submission Publishers spend a significant proportion of their time buying or commissioning content. The door is open for authors to submit material for consideration. The majority of unsolicited submissions come from previously unpublished authors. Such manuscripts must go through the slush pile, in which acquisitions editors sift through to identify manuscripts of sufficient quality or revenue potential to be referred to the editorial staff. Authors who are represented by a literary agent are more likely to succeed with major publishers. Publishers thrive only when they are able to produce and sell books that match the needs of the target readers. \nOnce a work is accepted, the commissioning editors negotiate the purchase of intellectual property rights and agree on royalty rates. \n\nHaving agreed on the scope of the publication and the formats, the parties must then agree royalty rates, i.e. the percentage of the gross retail price that will be paid to the author. This is a difficult risk management exercise because the publisher must estimate the potential sales in each market and balance projected revenue against production costs. \nOnce the immediate commercial decisions are taken and the technical legal issues resolved, the author may be asked to improve the quality of the work through rewrite(s) or the in-house staff will edit the work. Almost all publishers operate a house style, and staff will copy edit to ensure that the work matches the style and grammatical requirements of each market. \nWhen a final text is agreed, the next phases are design. This may include artwork being commissioned or confirmation of layout. This process prepares the work for printing through processes such as typesetting, dust jacket composition, specification of paper quality, binding method and casing, and proofreading. The activities of typesetting, page layout, the production of negatives, plates from the negatives and, for hardbacks, the preparation of brasses for the spine legend and imprint are now all computerised. \n\nSimply, you must contact publishers to get your books published!

In the past when I contacted authors I went about it by contacting the publisher if there was no information about contacting the author himself. Now, of course, with the Internet it's easier, do some searches on Yahoo and/or Google. \n\nJust be aware that it may take a few letters. I hope this helped.

Easy, if you can quote the book be sure to site what you quote or " " it. Also if you have read it write as if you are talking to friend about it. It goes by faster, and at least you will have attempted to write it.

My suggestion would be to try contacting the author directly. I'll bet he would be flattered  to assist. One way you can attempt that is through the publisher. Most of the information can be obtained on the Internet. Good luck.

Here are some ideas:\n\n1. Description of the agency\n2. Purpose and objectives\n3. Who is its target market/beneficiaries\n4. Why is this non profit agency important - cite specific examples of its effectiveness and include testimonials from those it has helped or from leading figures in the field\n5. Why you should support this organization\n6. How you can support the organization\n7. Contact information including website URL, address and contact email\n\nYou have to first let the brochure reader know what the agency is, and what it does. Then before you can ask them for money, you have to answer the question - "Why is it important that I contribute to this foundation? What will be its impact?" Then and only then can you start the pitch for financial request.
