    Publishing a book
    Hello,
    I am posting to ask if it is possible to have my book published in a foreign country... I have written a novel in English and I would like to have it published in an english speaking country. How can I do that?
    Thanks in advance

    I have a friend in India who published his book in English, and he sells it on Amazon.
    After dinner I will go look at his publisher.
    You'll have to pay for it. In the old days it was called a 'vanity press.' These days all publishing is that kind except for the famous.
    There's no guarantee that your novel will sell enough to recover your expense, nor get the attention of editors at big publishers.

    Partridge, a division of Penguin, a division of Random House.
    But there's hope for everyone, every writer.

    May I ask what your book is about? Would it catch the interest of an American agent or publisher? DO NOT pay money to a vanity press! There are much cheaper ways to do this, if you self publish. Also, marketing your book is your biggest hurdle, no matter how you get published.

    You can have it published anywhere, if you are willing to pay for it, and /or willing to send it to dozens maybe 100's of publishers trying to find one that would accept it
