| The following are the steps on how to get your | | | | Herald Press |
| book to be published. These are: | | | | Holiday House |
| Step One | | | | Home Education Press |
| Look for a professional editor for the work or | | | | Jist Works, Inc. |
| literature that you have done. With this procedure, | | | | Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. |
| you are ensured that the book that you have made | | | | Knowledge, Ideas & Trends, Inc. |
| is polished and refined prior to giving to the publisher | | | | Lake View Press |
| or agent. | | | | The Learning Works, Inc. |
| Step Two | | | | Libraries Unlimited |
| Look for an agent who would represent you and | | | | Living the Good News |
| your work. A good agent will present your literature | | | | The McGraw-Hill Companies |
| to publishers and guide you on the process of | | | | Media Bridge |
| publishing. Know the agent's experience, expected | | | | Mercury House, Inc. |
| commission, interests, and recent sales before | | | | New Hope |
| making a commitment. | | | | New Leaf Press, Inc. |
| Step Three | | | | Nodin Press |
| Give your query letter to various publishers whom | | | | W.W. North Co., Inc. |
| you think would like your book best. The letter that | | | | Nova Press |
| you will send will give the description of the book | | | | Oak Knoll Press |
| that you have made and provide your reasons why | | | | Octameron Associates |
| it is worth publishing. Given that the publisher would | | | | Orchises Press |
| look the idea of your book, they will forward a | | | | Ortho Information Services |
| proposal to you. | | | | Osborne/McGraw-Hill |
| Step Four | | | | Our Sunday Visitor, Inc. |
| Provide the interested editors or publishers with your | | | | The Overlook Press |
| book proposal. Included in your book proposal is a 10 | | | | Owl Creek Press |
| to 12 page sample, your reason for making the book | | | | Oxford University Press |
| as well as the author's information. For nonfictional | | | | Paper Chase Press |
| authors, they may send a proposal before completing | | | | Pippin Press |
| their book. For fictional writers, a completed | | | | Planners Press |
| manuscript is expected during query. | | | | Planning/Communications |
| Step Five | | | | Popular Culture Ink |
| Wait for the response of the editor or publishers. If | | | | Receipt Press |
| the book that you have made is accepted, you'd get | | | | Price Stern Sloan, Inc. |
| a monetary offer. But if not, a rejection letter will be | | | | The Putnam Berkley Group |
| sent out to you, together with the reason why it | | | | QED Press |
| cannot be published. | | | | Random House, Inc. |
| Step Six | | | | Routledge, Inc. |
| Keep sending query letters to publishers until you | | | | SAS Institute, Inc. |
| receive an offer from your publisher. The key here is | | | | Scholastic, Inc. |
| to study the responses of the editors and intertwine | | | | Serendipity Systems |
| it in your work until you find a publisher who would | | | | Sergeant Kirkland's |
| take interest in your work. | | | | Slack, Inc. |
