What steps does it take to become an Author?

I have always loved to write and want to publish a book (eventually). Of course I have dreams of it becoming popular too. So... I'm wondering how that all works? Do I just write the book and then copy write it somehow, and then look for a publisher? Are there any certain guidelines to writing a successful book? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
 
u write a book then send hire a agent to read it and make sure its good. then the agent sends it to a publishing company. then once its being copied and sold ( which it cost money to do all this). they mail u a fraction of the money they make
 
First, you need to make sure that what you've written is what you actually want to publish. Don't send it to a publisher or agent until you've revised it several times, making sure that it's as perfect as it's going to be. Then send a one-page letter explaining who you are and what your story is about, along with the first three chapters or so, to publishers/agents who would be able to publish your book. You're going to get lots of rejections, so don't worry about it, just keep trying. Your agent/publisher will sort out the copyrights, I think.

There's no formula for a successful book. You just have to write to the best of your ability. Don't give up. Keep writing. The more you write, the more you'll improve.

Hope this helps.
