How do I get my book published? You asked Google – here’s the answer | Katy Guest | Opinion | The Guardian

There are about 184,000 books published every year in the UK, which most people in the industry would agree is too many. Even so, you should see some of the proposals that don't make it. As a former newspaper literary editor, a freelance book editor and a commissioning editor at a book publisher, I can tell you that there's a lot of rubbish out there. The positive news is that good authors can easily stand out.
