Hi! Well, that all depends on whether you want to submit it to a publishing company, which provides editors and proofreaders and artwork, etc., or go the self publishing route where you will have to do all that for yourself. What is your book about? The genre may make a difference, too, regarding which publishing houses you would submit to as well. I hope that helps! Seriously, though, I would love to hear what your book is about. :-)

Ok, you can't laugh at the plot so far, I'm just starting it over..
It's pretty much about a kingdom that falls under rule of a dark magician after the princess, the only one left to defend the throne, gets kidnapped by his army. he converts her to their way of life, and she becomes the "dark queen" of sorts. I haven't quite gotten to the ending, but I'm sure someone has to be a hero in it.

No laughing here - I'm an editor, not a writer! Writing is much more difficult! :-) Sounds like a very interesting sci-fi fantasy kind of story. Keep us posted when it's finished!

I'll do that. I've let a few people read the chapters I have written on it so far, and they've all given good, honest, reviews, so I'm pretty pleased with the way it's going so far...now it's just a matter of finishing the plot that's gonna get me...

Go to http://www.lulu.com and self publish!! I've done that once, and my Sweetheart has done it 3 times, and we're both quite successful. All the information you need is right there on the website.
