I'm looking for someone who's experienced to give me advice on getting a book published!!!!?

Question

Hi. I'm 17 years old and I'm in the process of writing a book that I'm hoping I'll be able to get published. It's actually not a novel...It's a book about the greatest rock and roll albums of all time; Right now I'm just starting research but I'm planning on getting interviews and I want it to be sort of a big scrapbook with pictures and information and stuff..I know it might sound kind of crazy but it works in my head. The problem is I know NOTHING about how to go about getting a book published and legal stuff with interviews and things like that. If anyone could help and would be able to talk to me and give me information I would really appreciate a response...someone with experience would be especially helpful! Thanks!

Answer 1

first, find out who is publishing rock and roll music books... second, look at what's out there, and figure out how your is addressing something that is not already addressed...  third, contact that publisher, and have one or two chapters ready as a manuscript...

Answer 2

look in the library in the reference section for 'writers market'

It lists EVERY publishing company in the US and what they publish

It also tells how to go about geting a book published, all the legal stuff.
