Yes, it is possible for anyone to get published. Two things to consider: what do あなた mean によって "published", and how do あなた want to get published?
What 'publishing' means
I'm going to assume that あなた mean 'publishing to a mass audience', rather than seeing your work in any kind of print. In general terms, mass publishing can mean posting online または getting your 書く printed in a non-computer medium like a book, magazine または newspaper.
Online publishing
Posting your 書く to ファンポップ is online publishing. So is posting to associatedcontent.com. So is getting your material 投稿されました on the New Yorker web site. The first will get あなた readers but no pay, while the 秒 will give あなた readers and the potential for some pay (depending on how many people view your writing), while the last is hardest to do and will result in money up front.
Three things to consider when publishing online:
1) How easily あなた can get your 書く published. For example, ファンポップ is an easy way to 公開する your work. Publishing on associatedcontent is a bit もっと見る difficult, and posting to the New Yorker web site is about as difficult as getting published in the print magazine.
2) What あなた will get with publication. Do あなた want cash または feedback? If so, how much do あなた want?
3) The terms that apply to the publication. Make sure to read at least the submission guidelines and the terms of service of any web site あなた consider for publishing.
Print publishing
Getting published in a mass-printed medium requires that あなた 提出する your material for review to some editorial body to approve your work, または that あなた choose to self-publish.
Print publishers
In the US, あなた can find out to whom あなた should 提出する your material によって 読書 Writer's Market. This outlines the way that your 書く should be formatted and how to send it. Then the editor(s) will contact あなた with a rejection slip, an offer, または a request for some work (holding out hope that it will get an offer if changes are made).
Self-publishing
There are three モデル for self-publishing:
1) Vanity publishers: there are many self-publishing services that will give あなた a package of a certain print run, where all あなた have to provide is a chunk of cash and your manuscript. They may offer editorial services as well as ジャケット デザイン in addition to different binding options and the like.
2) Print-by-demand publishing: There are other self-publishing services that will help あなた デザイン your book and prepare it for online ordering. The book is only printed when a customer orders the book, and that's when the customer is charged. This is a good option if あなた want to do minimal promotion of your book, または あなた don't have much cash.
3) Complete self-publishing: this is where you, your family and フレンズ gather money, print it yourself, and promote it at bookstores yourself. Paolini did this with Eragon when he was 15.
