Trying to get my Book Published?

Hi, I am a fifteen Year old Male, who is writing a Novel and is currently almost done with it. I was looking for a Book publisher that will help me Publish my book. This is my fourth story written, but my first to try to get published.

The problem is, there are too many Book publishers and that makes it harder to pick which one would be the best. I've searched for a long time but I am not quite satisfied with the results.

    You might want to self-publish. Self-publishing saves you from going through all that waiting and those rejection letters. Best of all, it fulfills your dream of publishing that great story you have. Many authors nowadays turn to self-publishing for many good reasons. It allows full creative control of your book and you retain ownership rights to your book - after all, you wrote the book and not you.

    Self-publishing is also a smarter option especially if you are planning to publish a book on a specific niche, because you can actually cater to your target readers. You also get to control the number of books you want to have printed. Usually, your POD publisher only prints your book depending on demand. This way, you wont end up with a garage full of unsold books.

    Other than understanding how the publishing world works, it is important to entrust your work to a publishing company that will take care of your book's creation - from editing, layout and illustration, printing, marketing, etc.

    I suggest you try searching for an agent first. From there, the agent will find a publishing house that best suits your novel. Good luck.
