Today, being a writer is fashionable and prestigious. You can sit in your favorite chair, write small (or large) works and get good money for it. No fixed working hours, no direct boss - beauty! But writing the first story doesn't mean becoming a popular writer. The next stage will be the publication of the book.

Instructions
Step 1
Find a publisher to print the book at its expense. First, you need to find a publisher that wants to release your book. Contacts and terms of their cooperation with new authors can be easily found on the Internet. You don't have to consider the big publishers. Better even, on the contrary, to choose a less well-known organization. Popular companies, as a rule, are less interested in collaborating with new talent - they have enough loyal customers.
Step 2
Submit your manuscript to the address provided. It is better to send the manuscript to several publishers at once. On average, a book can be viewed for 3 months (sometimes half a year). At the same time, be sure to periodically call and ask about the editor's decision.
Step 3
Sign a contract with the publisher. The author's fee must be prescribed in the contract. As a rule, it is a certain percentage of the value of each book. Accordingly, the total amount of payments directly depends on the circulation. The circulation is determined by the publisher, but if demand arises, it can be increased.
Step 4
Print the book at your own expense. In this case, everything is easier - you need to find a publishing house that can print the required circulation at the best prices. By the way, for a certain percentage, such organizations are ready to help a novice author in the distribution of books.
Step 5
Submit the book on the appropriate Internet portals. Today, electronic libraries are distributed on the network, where a variety of works in the open access are placed. This is not a way to get profit, but a method of gaining popularity. If people like your book, there will definitely be a publisher that wants to print it, and you, in turn, will receive the due fee.
Step 6
See a literary agent. This profession is not widespread in our country at the moment. However, it is the literary agent who, for a certain fee (fixed or percentage), will help you find a publisher that wants to publish your book.
