Second, don't assume you have a good story. Goodreads has a BETA reading page that you can use to see if others like your story.
Third, get a professional editor. You can use UpWork or even look on Google for professional editors. Don't you dare think you alone can edit your work - you are wrong.
Fourth, send it to agents! Don't go straight to self-publishing (in my opinion). Some of us do, but let me tell you, it costs money! I didn't even realise how much until I was in too deep. Try your luck with an agent and if in 6 months you still have no offers, self-publish.
Fifth, be positive. If you get bad critics that's fine. You can edit your story and make it better at any time. Just remember that grammar and punctuation in a novel IS important. Don't rush off to get published without having a book that is near perfect in these areas.(less)

IMPORTANT: Unpublishing

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry I haven't updated you all in a while regarding The Chosen Saga.

So, I've made the decision to unpublish GOMAL. I could tell you it's because life is busy at the moment, which it is: I've just had a gallbladder surgery, c-section, and have two children, both of which right now have chest infections (which I myself have but I don't really care if I have it). But it's not the o

“How to explain this? A shadow kytaen becomes, in a way, the shadow of their keeper, and when the keeper chooses it to, the shadow will detach itself like It did just then.’
‘What, like Peter Pan?”
