Through the years I’ve written several books (tech, sci, novels), I got some in the internet, but never published any, but since my friends say they are very good, and that could be a way of living, I decided to ask the way to do it, if someone can help me I’ll be gratful. It could be better if I could do it in my mother language (spanish), any way I can also do it in english, dutch, and even german and french.
Thanks 2 all
Choosing a publisher for your work can be a difficult task. Finding a publisher who will publish in Spanish or any of the other languages you mentioned is only half the battle. You must evaluate the acceptability of the contract terms that is required of each publisher. I have a free download of my publishing journey on my web site www.myqualitywriting.com. It provides my experience in getting published and some guidelines in reviewing contracts of publishers. It may help you in choosing a publisher. It also provides some opportunities for marketing as it is primarily, if not all, the responsibility of an author to create an interest in your writing. There are thousands of books published each year and your books needs to stand out from the others. Having your book published in Spanish or other languages may be a positive advantage in getting published.
Another thing I want to mention is that with all the technology available today you do not need an agent to get published. I did not use an agent in getting my first or second book published. If your work is good you will find a publisher who will publish it.
Another source of information is submitting questions to writers forums such as the one on www.writersweekly.com. There is a wealth of information from other writers on this site who can offer some suggestions on publishers that may be interested in your work. Also I would recommend signing up for the newsletter that is available free as it has great information.
I wish you all the success you deserve.

There is increasing demand for books in Spanish and that may be a help for you to get published. Look for an agent who can handle bi-lingual manuscripts.
Few if any large publishing Houses accept unsolicited manuscripts in any language.

Maybe you should try self-publishing. I heard of this website : http://www.lulu.com, where you can upload a file of your novel and have it published. The books are printed as they’re ordered, so you won’t have a box of your books if you don’t need one.
It’s cool that you can translate your books into so many languages. That’ll be a big help.
Hope I helped you and good luck!
