So, the manuscript is ready, proofread and edited. Where to start your writing career? There are several options for getting your work published.
Publishing. Everyone who dreams of becoming a real writer, most often chooses this path to success. It’s really not a bad option to get started in literature. But it is important to understand that each publisher has its own requirements, and with them you need to familiarize yourself even before sending a manuscript, since in case of non-compliance, the text will not even begin to read. All information is usually located on the publisher’s website in the appropriate block “to aspiring authors”. To make the chances of success more tangible, it is better to send the manuscript to several places at once, not forgetting to familiarize yourself with the requirements of each.
Placement of the work on the Internet. And if you want to not just become a writer, but also immediately start earning, you can publish your work on a special resource, for example, Maecenas. In this case, the author will be able to receive a certain percentage of the sale of his work.
Thick literary magazines that publish the works of little-known writers who are just beginning their writing career. Becoming an author in such a magazine is a step to fame, since publishers are happy to start cooperating with writers who have already had publications.
Mass publications. These are newspapers and magazines that are read by the general public, and it is much easier to get on their pages. Becoming an author in such a publication is a great way to make yourself known. Even if they do not pay anything for it, a beginning writer can find his first fans.
Literary Contest. Here they will not publish a manuscript, but it is a real chance to make yourself known. Many children’s writers became famous thanks to them. Literary publishers gladly accept the works of such authors, calling the contest a sieve of modern talent.
