Hi Zohaib.

Don't burden yourself with worrying about getting published yet, enjoy the process of writing and drafting first. When you are sure you have the best MS you can send out, then it's time to start looking for an agent or publisher.

Look at the blogs on here, you'll be surprised with the important information you can pick up, and place a sample of your work for other writers to review (if you haven't already done so).

Good luck with your writing.

Hi Zohaib,

I think that this platform can help us to get published by allowing its users to communicate with each other. I see the platform as a wonderful place to get the knowledge that I need, and to ask questions of other authors in similar positions.

Is there any chance of us getting published by Bloomsbury? The answer is yes, but that is the answer for anyone if they have written (and redrafted) their novel, and submitted it to appropriate agents. You have the power to turn your dream into a reality but it will be hard work.

There are also the four stages of writing on the home page with many blogs and articles on each stage of the writing and publishing process which I have found useful.

Good Luck with your novel. By writing it you are a step closer to being published than those who just talk about it.
