2. HOW CAN I GET MY BOOK PUBLISHED?

People frequently ask us how to go about getting published. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any unsolicited manuscripts or synopses and cannot enter into correspondence about unpublished work. We can, however, offer the following advice on how to go about getting into print.

A great place to start is your local library where you'll find a wealth of information on writers groups and plenty of books on writing and the publishing process. From our own list we recommend The Practice of Writing by David Lodge.

When you feel your work is ready for publishing you need to get a Literary Agent. Agents can objectively advise you on your work and will know the most suitable publisher to take it to, not to mention fighting for the best deal on your behalf. A comprehensive listing of UK literary agents can be found in the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, published annually by A & C Black.

Different markets demand a different approach, so we also offer specialist advice for aspiring Adult fiction and Children's fiction authors.

If you would like an assessment of your work contact The Literary Consultancy. There is a charge for this service.
