How do new authors actually get your book published in today’s competitive market? I’ve finished writing my manuscript and now I’m unsure about the next step. Should I approach traditional publishers, look into self-publishing platforms, or try hybrid publishing options? I’m also curious about what preparation is needed before submitting a book, like editing or formatting. For those who have already gone through the process, what worked best for you and what mistakes should beginners avoid? I’d really appreciate your advice and experiences.
