Answer 2

There are tonnes of other questions about this that people have already asked if you search for it.

But the general gist of it is this:

-Get everything absolutely perfect. This means editing over and over again until you're either fed up with it or can't do anything more with it.

-Present your novel in manuscript format: this means double spaced in 12pt Times New Roman or similar with a header or footer, no lines between paragraphs-instead use an indent at the beginning of a paragraph.

-Write a synopsis. This is a straight forward explaination of the plot, with no holes and no cliffhangers. It should always have an ending.

-Research publishers and/or agents. Having an agent is almost essential into today's market. An agent will get you a book deal, negotiate with publishers and sort out the legal side of things. Get a good book with listings in it, research each one and make sure you correctly submit your material to them; this usually means sending them a brief cover letter (with a few sentences about your book, any writing credentials you might have, etc) a synopsis and the first three chapters.

-Expect rejection again and again.
