There is no denying that writing, in any form, is a great way to relax your senses after a hectic day at work. With writing, you get all the freedom to make use of your creative skills to churn out a good poem or a wonderful book. For those individuals who love to write and believe that they have the skills to churn out literature, which others will like to read as well, publishing their book is really the way forward. However, while experienced and renowned writers don’t have to go through long processes to find a good publisher, amateur or first-time writers often find the process of book publishing quite taxing. If you are a first-time writer and believe that you have written something, which the masses will enjoy to read, here are a few helpful tips that will allow you to find and approach one of the leading publishing house from India. • Finding an agent: Unlike the common conception that agents don’t play a major role in publishing a book, the fact remains that most of times only experienced and renowned writers can approach a publishing house directly. Contrary to the common belief, agents do play an important role for amateur writers, as they select the book and approach the publisher on your behalf if they believe that your book is worthy of making it to the market. Usually, agents are extremely selective about the books that they forward to the publisher, as even a single book that isn’t worth publishing might deteriorate the repute of the publisher and the agent. A good agent, who is in contact with any leading publishing house from India, will go through your book entirely and might suggest you to make a few changes. • Write a good query letter: As a rule of the thumb, you have to send a good and clearly written query letter to the editor of the publishing house or the agent, which summarises the type of content you have written and the reason why you believe that the book should be published. Only after you get a confirmation from the publishing house or the agent, you should forward the first draft. • Formatting your content: As you might already know, editors of good publishing houses don’t have much time to go through content that is unorganized or poorly formatted. Hence, you have to ensure that the draft you send to an editor or an agent is properly formatted with double line spacing, serially numbered pages and content printed on just one side of the paper. Here is useful information (http://www.leadstartcorp.com/get-published/submission/) about a leading publishing house from India willing to publish books of upcoming writers. Additionally, you should not forget to include the word count, chapter count and your contact details on the first sheet of the draft. • Wait for the publisher’s final confirmation: Getting your first book published is undeniably an accomplishment that only a select few make. Good publishing houses are very choosy about the book and have a team of editors who scan each manuscript thoroughly. The final confirmation comes only if the editors give your book the green signal. Browse for more (http://www.leadstartcorp.com/about/introduction/) info to know how the editors go ahead with evaluation process. While it may sound easy, the fact is that editors might want you to make several changes in your content, before they start printing your book. Remain open to criticism and take all suggestions in a positive way. If your content is worth reading and you have made the suggested changes, your book will definitely reach the market.
