[[[Your best bet is to submit, submit, submit to as many independent publishers as you can find names for, like from lists similar to this one. Make sure they're currently accepting submissions and always follow their guidelines to the letter. Some will require single spaced, others double-spaced, if it doesn't meet all of their particular specs at a glance then it's immediately discarded before it ever reaches anyone's eyes. And you'll find that every publisher's submission guidelines vary from one to the other. It's a grueling process but you can't get discouraged or lose hope because rejection is pretty much the policy these days. Every rejection takes you one step closer to publication. Good luck and happy Hunting, I'm in your same boat. Oh, and if a publisher asks for any amount of money upfront, politely inform them that you are no longer interested and you would like your information erased from their database. Be firm because they're relentless. Well I hope this was helpful; again, good luck to you!]]
