Hi Redginald,
How does one become published? You've asked the million dollar question. You will discover that the life of a writer has two components. There is the creative/editorial side and then there is the business side and you have to work equally hard at both. The short answer is get a fabulous idea, write a marketable book, polish it until it is perfect, and find a publisher or agent who wants your work. If it were only that simple! You aren't the first person to ask me that question. It's the number one topic anytime I do a workshop. So for you, and all my other writers out there -- I'm declaring Wednesdays to be Writer's Day on my Blog. I'm going to answer your question "How does one get published?" step by step. I encourage everyone to send me questions or make comments as we go and let's see if we can develop a helpful dialogue on the topic.
