Publishing your own book is one of the greatest thrills that you can ever experience. When you are a writer, which you probably are if you are reading this article, then will understand what I mean. When you finish your book you may feel a since of relief and accomplishment; however, this is just the beginning. You still have a wonderful journey ahead of you. You need to get your book published. If you want to get your book published then there are some things that you must know. This article is going to provide you with vital tips to get you started.

Before you attempt to get your book published you need to understand how the publishing industry works. If you do not know this then you are probably only setting yourself up for disappointment. You CAN NOT just send your work in to a publisher. If you send unsolicited material publishers will not look at it. You have just wasted your money on supplies and postage. There is too much liability for publishers in doing this and they receive too many submissions. If there is a publisher who accepts unsolicited material they are probably not a reputable source. The real publishers do not accept anything unless you ask them first.

The second tip you need to know is that each publisher has a specialty. This means certain publishers specialize in certain types of books. I have seen many new writers submit their material to every publisher they can find information for. Again this is an exercise in futility. If a publisher specializes in investing they are not going to accept your romantic novel. Before you waste your time and money find a writers marker guide and find out which publishers publish work in the genre you need.
