Just a question, where do you go or who do you call if you want to get a book you wrote to get published? or SEE if its even worth publishing?

Because I'm writing one -^^-

Finish it first.

Then send it to a publisher. Check around on some websites for things like where to mail it to and what to include with it.

Finish it then get it edited/proofread.

After that, get a publishing agent. A lot of publishers won't even look at a manuscript if you don't have an agent behind it.

Never send unsolicited work to a publisher. That's sure to piss em off.

also, before you get an agent, you might want to randomly submit small things. it helps to get you noticed and it's good to put a reference from someone down. like contests that you win on writing to small newspapers, magazines, or just in general. hope that helps out too! ^_^

finish your book, then send it to a publisher,and if your wondering if its any good or worth publishing ask your friend(s) if they'll read your story (when its finished,or a some of it) and ask if they liked it or not (its what i did for my book).

Heres a link for publisher(s):

http://anotherealm.com/prededitors/peba.htm

When you finish your book you can look for a publisher here. (this is how i found mine).

Heres a link(s) for agent(s):

http://www.writers.net/agents.html

http://www.clickandcopyright.com/find_a_literary_agent.asp

stuff on the agent(s). if ya need more info feel free to PM me.

You do not need an agant or a full book. I have two books that where published and when I was writing them you get a publisher to read the first few chapters and you tell him the story line and he gets someone to read it and gives you a contract for say one book. An agent will rip you off and does not work for your best interest.
