Unfortunately in my experience how ever much you want to succeed it's a hard thankless task. No traditional publishing house will touch anybody new no matter how good the writing is, which for me has left me with the pay to publish option and I don't have the money, with no hope of getting it either. I've tried asking family, crowd funding, etc but nothing. Anyways be careful if the publisher is either Austin McCauley, Olympia, and the third I can't remember because they are vanity publishers. The first thing to look up is vanity publishers because there is alot of them
