What do I need to do to get a book published?

Submit it to several different publishers. One of them will take you.

Go online, find a publisher you like, and submit your manuscript. Remember, it takes most authors lots of tries submitting their manuscript to different publishers. Let's say you have a publisher that likes your book and gives you a contract to print your book. Now you go through editing which doesn't take a lot on your part. Next (if your book requires this) is illustration. Most of the time the publisher has hired illustrators to work on your book. That step is easy unless you choose to hire someone separately or draw them yourself. Now your book starts the printing process. This is your time to start the hardest part in publishing a book...MARKETING. Most people who dive blindly into publishing a book don't get. Unless you are a famous author YOU the author are expected to do most of the marketing for your book. That means getting a website, contacting book stores, contacting media, and a lot more! This is very hard work. If you a prepared to give up a significant amount of time to promote your book, this is fine. If you expect to sit on your couch and wait for your first paycheck you are sadly mistaken. Put the effort in and it will pay off.
