So long as you're going the traditional route it shouldn't cost you anything. I would suggest getting a copy of the Writer's Market. You are, however, going to need an agent. Publishing:http://jcthejourney.blogspot.com/2009/02/off-your-computer-and-onto-shelves_26.html

Don't self-publish! --Repeat-- Don't self-publish! You will regret it every day of your life; your book will never see the light of day within the hallowed walls of the public library or anywhere else! Find a literary agent to represent you. You acquire an agent by composing query letters about your book and then submitting them to likely agents. Here is a reputable website with thousands of literary agents and their profiles/contact info: http://www.aaronline.org/mc/page.do Only write to agents who are a match for your book, i.e., they specialize in the book's genre and are currently accepting new clients. Rejection letters carry no weight, so don't give up until you've received over 300 plus rejections. Remember: the patient writer is the successfully published one.
