What Are the Requirements for Getting a Book Published?

There are a few ways to publish a book. The choice depends on your background, skills and the amount of an initial investment that you have to spend. If you don't want to spend any money to publish, you will have to work hard, network and polish your manuscript to be accepted by a major publisher.

  1. Definition

    • The simple definition of publishing a book is to make it available for the public to consume and read.

    Considerations

    • You can publish a book as an online e-book. Simply convert your manuscript into an e-book format and sell it online.

    Expert Insight

    • You will have to find a reputable literary agent to represent you if you want your book published by a major publisher.

    Preparation

    • When you self-publish traditionally, you have to prepare your book files (cover and text), get an ISBN number, have a certain number of your books printed and then ship them off to customers and distributors.

    Types

    • You can self-publish your book online using print on demand (POD) services. When someone orders your book the book is produced and shipped to the customer automatically.
