Have you discovered the grain of writing talent in yourself and want to be appreciated? In this case, there are at least two scenarios. First, you gain patience and start bombing publishing houses with a synopsis of your work and the text itself from morning until late at night for days on end in the hope that someone will want to publish a young talent at their own expense. At the same time, get ready for long months of waiting - in most cases, publishers need from a month to three to review one manuscript.
Or the second option - you send your work to a prestigious competition. If everything goes well, you win and gain popularity, and now you are no longer chasing publishers, but vice versa.
