Hire a book publicist to promote your book for you. It's the only way. There are excellent publicists who specialize in books. They will help you get reviews. There are also specialists who book media (radio and TV). The best in the broadcast side are Newman (in Boston) and Planned TV and Arts.  \n\nExpect to pay between $15-30K to get your book well covered. Oh, and forget about Oprah - your chances are VERY SLIM - even if you are a best-seller!

Hmm, I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna be hard to sell an unpublished book online. Especially if you're not a well-known author. I guess, ask yourself, why isn't it published?\n\nTo answer your question though:\nwww.myspace.com\nwww.ebay.com\nwww.answers.yahoo.com\nwww.stickam.com\nwww.tagworld.com\nwww.facebook.com\nwww.amazon.com\nwww.half.com\nDo a search for forums with Book discussions or sales.\n\nMost of all, good luck. Try try try to get that book published..and get good reviews so you can become a well-known author. Think about every book you've heard of and sold well...it was always reviewed favorably, spread virally, and had some sort of attraction to it.\n\nBest of luck\n\n-Greg

Try R.L.Stine books and I don't mean the Goosebump ones. \nI have a few I picked up in a New & Used bookstore near me. \nThey are located in the Teen section not the children's.\nI'm much older than you and I enjoyed them.

Look in your local bookstore or library.  There are many books about submitting your book/manuscript and how to get an agent to do it for you.

Age has nothing to do with it. There have actally been children as young as 6 who have published. True, they are usually childrens books but anything is possible.\n\nKeep in mind that your parents will have to sign anything you do since a minor can not join in any contract legaly. \n\nYou take the normal steps otherwise... \nFirst, write it. Sounds simpler then it really is. \nSecond, edit, edit, EDIT.  \nOnce you have an actual manuscript ready you have to find the best publishers for your manuscript. I suggest "Writers Market". \nCheck out Vonda's site for how to properly format your manuscript.\nLastly, you send it off. You keep sending it until you get published. You don't give up because there are many who are trying to get published, and some who get hunderads of rejections before actually getting published.

I am writing a Cookbook. What I did is search for Book Publishers on the Inet. Many may require money from you up front (But, market the book better) and some may not charge any up front fees (And Do nothing for you), it just finding the one you want. Let me go check my "Favorites" and I give you a few links BRB.\nWell, most of mine only do Cookbooks, but, this one; http://www.trafford.com/\nHere they have a Free Publishing Guide to help you. YOU NOT have to use this Publisher. Research this for a long time. Above me are some GOOD answers. Publishing a book takes time do not hurry! As, I work on my Cookbook I have the time to research more Publishers and Costs. Hopefully when my Book ready I will know who to send it to and what they require to Accept my WONDERFUL Cookbook. ;-p

Probably not much.  You'll need to find a literary agent who likes the book and they'll search for a publisher for you.  If they choose to publish the book then they'll pay for it all.\n\nIf you want to publish it by yourself then you wouldn't need to make any investment if you used a service such as lulu.com

Don't know about publishing houses in the states, but what really makes a bestseller is Media Exposure. If your stuff catches the media's attention or your agent lands you promotion work on TV/Radio then the chances of your work being on the bestseller list skyrocket.\n\nLike here in the UK, the best promotion a writer could get is to have their book as part of Richard & Judy's Book Club. There's easily over a million people participating in that every year, plus there's constant TV attention then too.

You should do a search on "Publishers Boston" to get the names of book and mag publishers. Then go to the web sites to see if they offer internships.\n\nBy doing that, I found that Houghton Mifflin has opportunities for students:\n\nhttp://www.hmco.com/company/careers/opp_for_students.html

HI--I've also written a book about dyslexia and reading disabilities.  I'll be glad to read your work and comment and edit, but can't put in the same amount of time that I put into my own book! And I don't want any money for it, either...\n\nI'm definitely interested in what you did and how you did it and how and what you researched in terms of teaching methods. \n\nI also want to know about your experiences with your school--that's actually the main point of my book--it's intended to help parents negotiate, argue and advocate successfully with their child's school.\n\nTell me more about your book--is it word processed? How long is it? Can you share it as a pdf or in Word? Have you talked to a publisher?  My co-author and I ended up self publishing--it's relatively easy and inexpensive! Marketing is the challenge! I can tell you more about this later!\n\nP.S. You're probalby right, there won't be a lot of money in this project--but it's worth pursuing for your own personal growth and for the message you have to share with other parents.

Do you mean "publisher"? You could prob. just get it published online. btw, I'm new to answers, and I was wondering if it really made a differance to you for me to be the first person to answer your question?

You can go either of two ways. You can approach large publishing houses and send them a letter with info on your book, and see if they take you up. They would get a lot of such letters, and the competition would be fierce. However, if you were to be accepted, they'd probably arrange everything to do with distribution and payment.\n\nAlternatively, have a look at www.lulu.com and consider self publishing a few, and see how they sell. It wouldn't cost much and you will get good feedback on your product.\n\nAudrey\nwww.animalhomebusiness.com

Check out http://www.lulu.com/ if you don't want to go the traditional route. Just know that you will have to do a lot of the marketing yourself and POD books are rarely stocked in bookstores unless you make it happen by going to each book chain or store. It usually involves keeping your own stock and sending out free copies. There is some out of pocket expense here.\n\nIf you want to go the traditional route, go to google and search for "Publishers" Religion and find publishers that publish religious books. Then you'll want to check out their writer's guidelines and make sure you follow them when submitting your manuscript. You might also want to research how to write a good query letter.\n\nADDED: Well, making money aside (because there is very little money in writing unless you get lucky with a bestseller or have a name that will sell)  and that's not why most authors (you included as you stated above) write anyway --- what route you take really depends on what you want your distribution to be. Big traditional publishers give your book distribution. Self publishing is the more difficult route because you want people to read it so it's up to you to market it so that they know where they can get it.\n\nPersonally - I suggest starting out self-publishing, especially if you have a specific audience you can target yourself. If the book is good enough - you would likely get offers from other publishers at some point anyway.\n\nBTW - Lulu is a FREE publishing service, which means you don't even have to buy copies of your book if you don't want to. It's a great option for authors, especially with specialized non-fiction topics.
