I've written novels, and spent years learning to edit and revise them. Now I have two novels ready to be submitted to agents and published. It is time consuming to edit but if you can get in the habit of revising a chapter daily, it goes by fast enough.

Some people revise only once or twice before sending out their manuscripts but I believe in doing it more - in part because I keep learning more about revision, and ... well, I want a quality novel published - not just something that fell out of my pen during a moment of inspiration.So... my recommendation to you... is to be patient and learn to revise. Like they say, great novels are revised, not written.

For your final edit, read the manuscript out loud. You will be amazed at what you find. If you like, read into a recorder and the play it back.

You will see mistakes as you are reading and later at playback find errors in flow and syntax. I agree with other answers, never ever pay to publish. Buy a Writer's Market to find the lasted info.

On who is accepting manuscripts.

Whatever you do NEVER repeat NEVER pay anyone to publish your work because that is a con trick. Vanity publishing never works. You should give what you've done so far to a few friends and get them to comment on it.

Ask then to be honest because false compliments might make the reality harder to take once a publisher takes a look. Don't send a first copy to publishers, check it and check it again and once you've had good feedback and you're truly happy with the finished article then send it. Good Luck with it - and don't let rejection stop your ambition.

Many great novelists have suffered rejections before getting their work in print.

I have to agree entirely with the others, do not go through a vanity publisher. It nukes your first publication rights, which is something that a lot of paper publishers are all hot and bothered about. Editing is just as simple as reading over it like you would a term paper or a letter to a friend you haven't seen in awhile.

Edit yourself then enlist the help of a close friend or family member to read it through with fresh eyes to try and catch spots of weakness. LindaJM said it right, good novels aren't written, they are revised. I spent five months writing a novel and six months revising it.

Once you are ready, check out the agents listing. They work for a small commission of your final sale (usually between 10 to 15%) which means that they want to get you the biggest, best deal that they can so they end up with more cash. Check out: agentquery.com/ thats where I have searched for and been querying agents for months.

Its a slow process but it is faster than querying the publishers yourself and you have a skilled person between you and them. Kinda like a lawyer, though that s a bad example. Good luck, and bravo for asking, far too many people are unwilling to actually ask for help.

Depending on what type of book you are writing I have a couple of hubs on writing and publishing books'smcopywrite.hubpages.com/hub/Write-Your-....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
