Answer 1

It's a lot harder than you think.  Editors don't read unsolicited material.  It goes into a slush pile.  Your friend needs an agent to represent him AFTER all the misspellings & punctuation & grammar mistakes are corrected.  There also has to be a natural flow or rhythm to the dialog.  Get Writer's Market most recent copy, READ ALL THE ARTICLES, & then realize you need an agent.  Get The Literary Guide To Agents & read their articles.  Then the next part of your homework begins after you know their guidelines.  Get some good books on query letters & proposals.  Publishing isn't for the faint-hearted.
