I finished my book, now what?

its about the personal growth and transformation of a girl whose been broken down by drugs, rape, abuse and death of a parent. She finally realizes she needs out and runs away with a friend to a new town, where they meet people who assist in their personal growth. By the end, the girl lets the past go and begins to heal.

Ask people at school if their parents are editors. Also, check some magazines and see if you can find any publisher information, and try to contact someone. I hope your book gets published! Let me know if anything big happens

After it’s all in the right format, then start finding an agent, do some research on the various publishing houses and see if they meet your needs.

If you consider self publishing, you can go to amazon direct to publish your work. Of course there are pros and cons of working without a major publishing house, but you have more control.
