Likely it was never published, Having a book published in stores has to go through an editor and a publisher and that alone can be costly.


If you are looking to get yourself out there a few good ways to start:

You could publish in the local newspaper

If your school has monthly papers, You could publish your stuff there as well. Even joining a club to be an editor of the yearbook

Also, If you are really wanting to publish a book the best way to get it done is to find a publisher or an editor. Almost every book has a page about that but like I said it can be very costly.


Good luck

Hey Hun! Search for the book on barnes and noble.com The book might not have been bought by a store yet! Ask your publisher what's up. Good Luck! XOXO

Just ask your agent straight up why the book isnt in stores yet. Or maybe ask a bookstore first when they are getting your book so you dont have to ask ur agent. Either way, it's your book, your agent said it would be in stores and you have a right to know why it's not.

btw, whats ur book called?

You should definitely go straight to the publisher. He is the one who made the promise, and you have to confront him about it. You don't have to be mean about it, you could ask him nicely. Also - you could ask a bookstore if they are soon to get your book. Plus, you have to be aware of many of the publishing scams going around, so make sure you have all his contacts. Good luck with your book!

If you need more advice, you can send it to my inbox. =)
