Submitting work for publishing

One of the most important things a writer can do is to submit his or her work to a publishing company. Getting published is one of the strongest achievements that a writer can obtain when he or she has completed a work, regardless if it is a book or a magazine article and without consideration on the type of text that he or she has written.

If you are a novice writer, you will certainly be tempted to send the whole work to each and every possible publisher, but there is no need to do that. It will suffice if you make a summary or even a condensation of the work that you have and submit this short compilation to the prospective publisher.

Keep in mind that it has to be short, but not that short that it will diminish the quality and impact of your complete work. That is, if your book is 300 pages, a 15-30 page summary will suffice.

But the most important thing is for you not to submit anything if you haven’t got your author’s registry yet. Once you have finished your work, make sure to make the short overall overview and submit that one too for author’s registry. As soon as you’ve got the registry for both of them then you are good to go.
