Where can i publish my book?

Question

i have a great story started. i feel it will be a best seller (i hope). my question is, i dont have any money for an agent, but are there places where i can send my manuscript, or even part of it, and see if i can have it published? i really want to be a writer.

also, how does that work? would i get an advance?

Answer 1

Complete Curious gave good advice.  I would add get Writer's Market & The Literary Agents' Guide and read the articles before looking for a publisher.  You'll be surprised how much work you still have ahead of you.

Answer 2

send it to my email and ill publish it

Answer 3

It doesn't cost you anything for an agent they just get a fraction of the profits you make from your book. but a publisher will not take an unfinished book idea unless you are a professional writer already. I would go with an agent because sending your work straight to the publisher is very difficult and very unrewarding mostly.

You will be offered a sum of money for your novel if a publisher wants it and it can possibly be an advance.
