Me: Hi!
Student: I heard you publish books.
Me: No, I write books. I have a publisher, well, publishers actually.
Student: You see, I am a writer too and I want my book published soon. How do I go about it?
Me: Go to publishers’ websites and try to get to know their structure, find out what type of books they are inclined to publish. After you’ve chosen a particular publisher, download the book proposal form and fill it up—just follow the simple instructions.
Student: I want my book published not here, but abroad. I mean, internationally.
Me: Oh, in that case, try to look for an agent. He/she will do the ground work for you—scouting around and guiding you as you go along.
Student: I see.
Me: What is your book’s genre?
Student: Genre!? What’s that?
Me: Ooops, gotta go, I'm late for my class. Have a good day!
