Have a look at my ebook articles and the struggles to get published, they may help. But the key question you have to ask is what do you want? If it is the physical presence of your novel in the hand and on the bookshop shelves then you have to either self print publish or go down the agent/publisher query line. If you are satified with your story being read then perhaps epublishing via Lulu or Smashwords. However as every writing blog will repeat the key is in the editing. That's the point where it becomes difficult, luckily for me I have an 'inhouse' editor.<br />Regards GregGregory Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476560824795563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708821570509726914.post-90679297717758896192010-11-15T20:55:20.290+11:002010-11-15T20:55:20.290+11:00Hi Ash, I think most of these problems have alread...Hi Ash, I think most of these problems have already been solved, but here's my attempt at answering some of them:<br /><br />1. Proof reading the book. Why not crowd source it? Find some willing friends to do it!<br /><br />2. How to publish it? If you can go fully digital, you have lots of options. However, if you absolutely *must* publish in dead tree format, try a print on demand service like Lulu (www.lulu.com). They have a number of different options, depending on how much help you need, including editing!<br /><br />That kind of answers 3 as well.<br /><br />Have fun!<br />MarkMark Micallefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387540481453208389noreply@blogger.com
