How to get published

Do you want to be published? Are you writing a book? Articles for a newspaper or magazine? Music? If you have ever secretly dreamed of publishing work, there are a variety of ways to go about it. Assuming that you have a book you would like to publish, you would do well to first find an agent. Publishers have literally thousands of manuscripts sent to them, most of which end up on the "rejected" pile, but a good agent will make sure that your book goes to the right publisher. Should your book be chosen for publication, your agent can help to negotiate a good contract for you. If you are really lucky, several publishers will want your book and this will lead to a bidding war, in which they each try to offer more and more money so that you will choose their publishing house. Your book will then be edited and developed as necessary, until it is as close to perfect as possible. It also needs the services of a graphic book designer: amongst other things, it needs a back and a front cover, a specific typeface, size and type of paper. These must make it stand out from all the other books that it will eventually sit amongst on a shelf in a book shop.
