Many people have literary talent. If you not only feel this gift in yourself, but also wrote a literary work, you have a chance to publish it. To do this, the created text must be correctly executed and sent to the publisher’s email address.
Instruction manual
1
Most publishers accept texts only in electronic form, in *.doc format - that is, created in Microsoft Word. The OpenOffice program also supports the *.doc format, but it is better to work with the Microsoft Office suite.

The text should be properly designed, you can read about the requirements on the websites of publishers, in sections for authors. Basic requirements: the text should be on an A4 page, typed in Times New Roman or Courier New font size of 12 points. Line spacing is single, line breaks are disabled, left alignment.

You should know that the chances of publishing your work are largely dependent on its genre and size. For example, to release a storybook is almost impossible - except at your own expense. It’s hard to publish poetry. But if you wrote a detective story or a science fiction novel, your chances are better. Please note that texts from 10 to 15 copyright sheets are usually accepted for publication. Even good texts with a volume of about 20 copyright sheets can be published, but it is better not to exceed the recommended volume of 15 sheets. One copyright sheet is equal to 40 thousand characters with spaces in the "Statistics" tab.

Together with the text to be sent, as a separate file, it is necessary to attach a synopsis - a short, no more than 1-2 pages, description of the plot. In the letter to which you attach the text and synopsis files, write about your proposal - tell the name of the novel, genre, do not forget to indicate your name and contact information.
5
After sending the text, you just have to wait. Usually the result becomes known within 2-3 months, sometimes you have to wait longer. In the event of a refusal, no one will notify you about this, so about once every couple of months remind yourself - ask if your text has been reviewed.

Can I send text to several publishers at the same time? Yes, but if your text is taken in some publishing house, be sure to write to all the others to which you sent it, and ask to remove your text from consideration, since it has already been accepted for publication.
