Writing a Book and Getting Published
1. Complete your book. A lot of people are interested in getting a book deal without completing a book. (It is very hard to explain your ideas without a sample.)
2. Your book should be about 50k- 80k words.
3. Have you book professionally edited.
4. Write a synopsis (Your entire book summarized in 2-5 pages.)
5. Write a Query Letter (A letter to an agent explaining who you are and what your book is about.)
6. You need an agent (An agent is like a filter between you and the publishing houses.)
