What should I do to publish a book

What should I do to publish a book?
I'm 13 and I live in Indonesia, yet I wrote English books. I can't submit it to Indonesian publishers of course, that's why I'm confused. What should I do to publish my novel in International world? My genre is fantasy-medieval, since I'm so interested in myths and spiritual things.

depending on the story line, try some Christian groups. They love a good success story. Perhaps Knights of Columbus???

depends on your genre. You might try self publishing, eg lulu.com

JAP: I have written and self published two books, a very hard row to hoe. Then I discovered this! I reccommend, If you browse to New York Literary Agency and follow their instructions. They ask you to send them a querry letter with a promise to answer in two days. (They Do) If interested in your work they ask you to send your manuscript by email and show you how to do this. They promise to get back to you in two weeks and again they do. They charge nothing unless they find you a publisher and then only 15% of books sold. You can't beat this. I know of no others that do this in this time frame. Trust me, if you go the snail mail route with others it takes up to three years to get an answer if you get one at all. Please, please let me know how you make out if you take this route. Wayne Russell The Vagabond Writer www.wizeoldphart.com
