Dreaming of Publication? Here’s how to make it a reality: By Keren Obara.

Dreaming of Publication? Here’s how to make it a reality:

1. Hone your craft: Polish your manuscript, research your genre, and get feedback from trusted readers. Remember, a solid foundation is key.

2. Choose your path: Traditional publishing (with an agent) offers prestige, but self-publishing gives you more control. Research both and see what aligns with your goals. ⚖️

3. Agent or no agent? If pursuing the traditional route, research literary agents representing your genre. Tailor your query letter and manuscript to their guidelines. (Skip this step for self-publishing.)

4. Prepare for submission: Follow submission guidelines religiously! Polish your synopsis, query letter, and manuscript format according to publisher/agent requirements.

5. Be patient and persistent: Publication is a marathon, not a sprint. Rejections are common, but use them as learning opportunities. Don’t give up!

Bonus tip: Build your online presence and connect with other writers. Community support is invaluable on this journey.
