Depends on what kind of book it is. Fiction? Non-fiction? Children's? Young Adult? Sci-Fi/Fantasy? Romance? Horror?
Chances are you need to first find a literary agent that represents your genre. Agents are choosy folk, though, so you may try getting your manuscript in the hands of an editor at a publishing house. Either way, send a query letter first. Unsolicited manuscripts are tossed.
It depends on postage -- unsolicited means that you just send it to the publisher without being asked. A solicited manuscript is one the publisher asks you to send.
The word "solicit" means to ask for or request. If the publisher requested that you send it, it's solicited. If you just send it, it's unsolicited.
If you have a finished manuscript, you send it to the publisher and let the editor read it!
You should send a manuscript around to agents first. You can also send them to the publishers dirrectly then get an agent.
A web site offering manuscript publishing is www.publishamerica.com/submit.htm . The site will give you the choice to send your manuscript directly online via e-mail, or you can choose to send it by regular mail. The site gives you step by step instructions on how to submit your manuscript. I suggest Lulu.com for self publishing. They will print your books on demand when purchases are made instead of having to pay for a large upfront order. Check out their website at: http://www.lulu.com/
Of course you can! Just send the manuscript to them the same as you would to a Canadian publisher.
Before sending out your manuscript, it is extremely important to use a very in depth spell check. Also, have the manuscript read over and over by a credible source for any particular details that you have missed or that you need to change.
Any program that you like -- the publishers will tell you what format they prefer when you send the manuscript in.
Manuscript is a noun, because a manuscript is someTHING. Manuscript is not an action, therefore it can't be a verb.
To get your book published you should send a manuscript to an editor and publisher. Or you could self publish. It is also easier if you have an agent to help you.

After. That way, they know you can finish what you start, and they'll be more likely to take you seriously.
