Publishing a Book (Score 1)

People who relate stories of the endless round of rejections usually don't have a finished product. Often they have little more than a "concept" and a few finished pages. They want somebody to give them an advance to develop, i.e, "finish" the project. If you have a finished book and are reasonable in your expectations, you have an extremely good chance of finding a publisher. They are looking for you. You are a rare item and can really talk turkey with them. Get an agent. Here is how you do it: Write to the authors who have written books similar to yours. Send them a sample of your work and ask them to help you get represted. Most will be glad to help you.
