Unless you are a celebrity
or a famous personality, it is quite may probably be in a pickle when it comes to getting your book
published. Publishing houses, especially that are leaders, don’t consider unsolicited manuscripts. UK's best-selling
living author, JK Rowling once tweeted
that she received loads of rejections before she finally got published. The
manuscript of the very first installment of the Harry Potter series was
rejected by 12 publishers before it ended up with Bloomsbury. Of course, there are reasons
behind rejections. There are a whole lot more bods who claim to be a book writer. But, there is a difference between the one who claims to be a writer and the one
who can actually write. We believe you
can write well. But your story doesn’t get ended up here when you aim to bring
your book on the bed.
You have to watch your
steps when aiming to have your book on bookstalls. A literary agency can be a bit of
your help in the course of your book publishing. Cast your glance on the
following steps that you might need to be watchful about:
Start with Sending Letters of Inquiry
The first and foremost step in the cause of book publishing is – team up with a literary agent. The letter of inquiry is meant to make the first good impression on the agent. You have only one chance to impress an agency with your query letter. So keep the concept of your book concise and interesting.
Make an Impressive Submission
After making an impression
on a literary agent
with your letter of inquiry, step ahead with submission. An agent will ask you
to show the sample of your book, say a first 50 pages of your book. Therefore,
make sure that you have already completed and polished your book, no matter
it’s a work of fiction or a novel.
Do Analysis of Publishing Market
Do some analysis of the market
of the publishing world before you send a query
letter or make submission of some part of your book. Analysis of the market
will help you understand the worth of your book. It will help you ensure if
your piece of writing is really unique and different as a publisher always
looks for something different.
Concluding the things,
this is mandatory for a budding writer to complete his writing work before
starting to look for a literary agent. Never go for sharing a preliminary draft
of your book with a publishing, though you can share it with a literary agency/agent.
It can be a bit of your help how to make an impression on a publisher with
right submission.
It’s best to have a
completed, polished novel before you even start looking for an agent. Secondly, you want the material you submit to
be in the best shape possible before sending it out. That means a polished, final product – not a
preliminary draft.
