Guys, kuan lang. I am aware of the fact that getting published is hard.
But I need to get a heads up.

Unsa man ang processes to get published?
Who to contact and stuff?

The biggest mistake writers do is send their manuscripts to publishers. Don't do it, they throw it in the thrash. Find yourself a LITERARY AGENT. Fortunately there's a bunch of info about how to find a literary agent on the internet.
This one is pretty good Nathan Bransford - Literary Agent: How To Find A Literary Agent He also has links to other literary agents on his blog.

If you want to get published in the Philippines you have to first make a name for yourself as a writer/author. I suggest you strive to join local writing workshops like the Faigao Writer Workshop of University of San Carlos or the Mugna Writing Workshop of UP-Cebu.

And there are some factors to consider. Are you writing poetry or narratives? Are you writing in English, Filipino or Bisaya. If you're a Bisayan writer I suggest you join BATHALAD who can help you get your Bisayan writings published.

If you need more specific counsel on how to start your literary career, please share some specifics yourself, like what are you a writer of?
