You have to check that, effectively, the publisher has books distributed in all the bookstores in your city, and in the rest of the Spanish territory. Distribution is a crucial point. The distributor must convince those responsible for large bookstores and supermarkets, with numerical results, that your book is already out of print, that it is in the third edition and that investing in you is a safe business.
A Good Literary Agent
The best way to publish with a publisher that offers powerful distribution is through a literary agent. (call us, we can advise you on the matter). The first thing to do is send him a page with the synopsis of your novel and the first two chapters (no more than 20 pages). At the time of contact you will have to be pleasant, persevering and believing in your work, because if you don't believe in what you write, Who will want to read it?
Some advices:
- Make reference to other novels of the same style that have sold thousands of copies.
- Take a look at how Hollywood movies are advertised and copy it onto a piece of paper. that is to say, write a business synopsis.
- Remember to professionally correct the text (we can also help you in this process).
