Karen Lynch:
how do you go about getting your books published? I have no idea how to get a publishing hows or anyone for that matter to look at my work, i was wondering if you had some advise.

Sydney,
I self-published my books so I didn't have to get someone to look at them. In traditional publishing, you find a publisher that takes books like yours and you submit to them. Most of them should have their submission guidelines posted on their website. Or you can try to find a literary agent to represent you and they will submit your book. It can be a very long process from what I'm told. I'm kind of impatient, so I decided to publish my own books. It's a lot of work and there is a learning process, but there are lots of websites that talk about how to self-publish. There are pros and cons to both options.
I hope that explanation helps. Good luck with your writing!
