Questions about what the publishing process is like. What is involved with getting a work published. Even self-publishing. Stories, experiences are appreciated.

You contact a publisher and find out what their requirements and needs are,

Number 1 find out which publishers are accepting submissions

Number 2 of those publishers accepting submissions find out which ones specialise in the kind of work that you produce

Number 3 choose a publisher that fits 1 and 2 and then contact them directly to ask what their submission requirements are.

Submit to one publisher at a time do not be disappointed that you get a refusal.

This is the process but success depends upon the quality of your work and that us another thing entirely.

If you wish advice on that I can help. I have edited and proof read a manuscript prior to submission by invitation of the author

I have also advised an author on story writing technique and on composition and style.

I am not offering a full service but I can offer some tips that may help.
