It was a handwritten cookbook my mother wrote for all us kids.How do I get a recipe book published?
When you print out the pages, put it away for at least 6 weeks. After that, take a red pen and go over it very thoroughly. Look for grammar, syntax, punctuation. Also, look at stuff you want to add or delete. There is no limit to how many times you edit
After the manuscript is perfect, time to shop for an agent (optional, but a great advantage). Buy a copy of the most recent Writer's Market or Literary Marketplace. Look for an agent that suits your manuscript needs. Once you've decided, send a query (or not, depending on the agency). If they wan't to see the manuscript, send it off. If they accept, you're ahead.
The same rule pretty much applies. Query, or not, and wait for a response. If they say yes, send the manuscript. If they agree, good job! Expect to see in in shelves in a few months
But expect rejection. Everybody gets it, just move on.
