Novel Story - Five steps to find a great novel Publisher

So, you finally finished your novel and are looking for a publisher for a novel or proofreader. Fantastic! This means that you want to publish your manuscript. And I assume you are smart enough to know that the manuscript will be handled professionally critical. However, I am the first to tell you that makes a big, experienced editor, your manuscript will be treated with caution, is a difficult task. So I have 5 steps to get started.
1) Do I get a copy editing or correction? Why not both? Some publishers are less costly to "replay that" contrary to the editing of content. The distinction is in particular that the correction to correct the error, while the editors to do much more significant changes. I know you think your book is perfect and you do not want anyone to think dirty, but me ... a book (especially just at an end, and twice in the first novel) takes a lot of tender love and care. An editor will look fantastic plot inconsistencies, poorly written dialogue, lack of motivation of the character, chapters do not move the plot forward, the choice of unusual words and much more. Money for an editor, what they do is, as always, a tutor Siegel knows. You'll be sent a manuscript much stronger.
2) costs. How much should you pay for proofreading and editing? The costs can vary greatly. It is on the duration of the project, the expertise of the editor, or simply the quality of the output. Do not expect an affordable and never a "deal". That is, many of the correction overload. Shop for the best qualified editor who had been treated with similar projects already see, and if they fit your "budget". Editing a book is needed usually between $ 500 to $ 1,500, but it is a great investment and urgent.
3) Choose an editor with a background in literature Many professional writers never studied English or editing. Find out what are their background and their powers. Some publishers may very well error correction and formatting, but they can see to write the "poor" and to improve? Is he / she a good writer?
4) Find a native speaker of the country you want your book to be successful in. Proof of residence is no guarantee that they are a native speaker. There are many people who are excellent in English, but not all, English is actually the same. Several countries refer to blends of English is not the same as English-US / Canada, the UK by various English. Generally, American English is International English.
5) Where can I find a publisher? First, the new issue of Research "/ edit my novel on Google and see what happens. Remember that the pages are found on the first page of Google in general (was longer) and more expensive, but there are many small companies with less advertising budget when you look from the first page of results. I personally have experience with a great small business. Some companies are publishers This will also proofread and edit your book. This is the way I highly recommend.
