If you are a first-time author, you should count on a publishing house to help you with your idea and promote it. You will find different publishers and some will be willing to help you with ideas and tips on writing a book in a successful way. Others may only accept checking your work once it is finished. Our advice is to provide publishers with a very defined idea but show yourself open to their advice.
Depending on your budget, you may consider self publishing a book. You have to mull over advantages and disadvantages of this. While self publising is cheaper and you get a higher percentage of benefits, you are more likely to succeed when counting on professional advice.
