Hey All ,

Hoping for feedback

I know there are many books that can help you get any idea of how to get published, they cannot teach everything though. And As I have not attempted to get published, I'm not the most help here. Still, if you want to look for which publishers to send to, one way I have heard of is to look at book similar to yours in the market and see who published them. Trends change and so do publishers with it, so one month they may want more of what you have, another month they're looking for something else, so don't be discouraged by that.

As for prices...? I'm assuming you mean what price to set for the book. I'd always rather assumed the publisher determined that, but I do not know this for certain. As for your royalties, all I know is be prepared to be amazed at how little they are. Hope that doesn't discourage you, but it's a hard reality that most do not get wealthy as authors. I'm pretty sure a lot of us have former, if not alternate, careers.

Hope something here helps...

Firstly you should have a unique script and you should choose a publisher in your local area at the beginning and then contact him or her.
You should present him or her your script and it takes some time while the publisher get aquianted with the material. Just to make it quicker try topresnt yourself decently.
And don't forget about the rolaylties, although they can be small!

Thanks for your reply. What's a unique script? Still learning about everything?
Also what does the rolaylties mean??

Royalties are the fees we authors get paid for our work. Basically, whenever a copy of a book sells, the money goes to a lot of different places. The bookstore, the publisher/printer, and eventually whatever is left trickles down to the author. It's usually a fairly low percentage of the total cost of the book.
