How To Get My Book Published by Scholastic?

Question

Ok well I’m in 9th grade and want to get my book published by Scholastic. Only thing I don’t know how. So, what can I do to accomplish this goal?

Answer 1

when you find out an answer tell me.

i'm in 10th grade and want to get a book published.

i think you might be able to go on their website, or search for submission guidelines by them on google.

you also need to get your manuscript edited.

and be careful, most publishing companies won't take writers that don't have agents.  

Answer 2

Get a literary agent.  

Answer 3

Good luck. You need an agent i doubt you got the money for that.  

Answer 4

When you print out the pages, put it away for at least 6 weeks. After that, take a red pen and go over it very thoroughly. Look for grammar, syntax, punctuation. Also, look at stuff you want to add or delete. There is no limit to how many times you edit

After the manuscript is perfect, time to shop for an agent (optional, but a great advantage). Buy a copy of the most recent Writer's Market or Literary Marketplace. Look for an agent that suits your manuscript needs. Once you've decided, send a query (or not, depending on the agency). If they wan't to see the manuscript, send it off. If they accept, you're ahead.

The same rule pretty much applies. Query, or not, and wait for a response. If they say yes, send the manuscript. If they agree, good job! Expect to see in in shelves in a few months

But expect rejection. Everybody gets it, just move on.

Answer 5

If you can't afford to buy the book, go to your library and borrow the latest copy of "Writers Market." The 2009 Edition is the latest. It's worth saving your allowance or $ to purchase.

Answer 6

Yeah, I know the feeling. I'll be in 10th grade this year, and I want my book published, too. I'd say find an agent before anything, though.
