The Best Way to publish book
Hey there! So you want to publish a book? That's awesome! Here are the main ways to do it:
1. Traditional Publishing
This is when a publishing company (like Penguin or HarperCollins) publishes your book. You'll need to:
- Write a query letter
- Find a literary agent (they help you get to publishers)
- Submit your manuscript
- Wait for responses
Best part? It's free! The publisher pays YOU!
2. Self-Publishing
You can publish the book yourself through:
- Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (most popular)
- Barnes & Noble Press
- Lulu
