Any authors out there?

I like to read quite a bit and sometimes think I would like to write a book of my own. I know it would take a lot of time to come up with the complete plot and story line, characters and how the story would draw out. Even if you did write a book, how would you go about getting it published?

I have been publishing at lulu.com I am a translator of the Word of God from Greek to English. I have already published GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS (Greek-English), THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, GREEK-ENGLISH (Grammar & Vocabulary), WORDS in THE WILL New Testament, and others shown at http://www.lulu.com/arseniajoaquin I have not spent even a single cent in publishing these. There are no set up fees. Authors are not even required to buy even a single copy of their books. In fact I have not seen any copy of any of my books as I have no money and I don't even have any credit card. Lulu does not interfer with the content. Write anything you want too. Choose the size there, book cover, you're free to set your royalty, etc. Copyright is automatically included there.

It is ridiculously hard to get a novel published without any publishing credits. It's best to start out with short stories, to fill out your portfolio. Once you've got your credits and you're ready to send in your novel, you find a publishing company and send them an inquiry plus an outline of your novel - or a sample, depending on their guidelines. If they're interested, they'll request the manuscript. *has bee writing for a few years, and is still in the short story phase*

I am self-published using lulu.com I have some books there at the website provided by lulu for authors. It's very easy to follow instructions. I hope that you'd be able to publish there also.
