From what I understand if you're not an established writer its hard to get a publishers attention.

You're best bet is to find publishers that take open submissions which are usually the smaller ones.

I had a friend that went the self publishing route and used it to build his resume so that publishers would pay attention.

I did talk to him because I'm been working on and off for about 30 years on something and he said the hardest thing is that if you get a publishers attention and start working with a professional editor they will savage you and your book and its not a pleasant or fun experience as they have to take the love of your life and mold it to a corporate standard that would sell.

Great job on doing this though and congrats and good luck.
