Minding My Business
We are four days into 2013 and ive hit my first road block! Ok ,I’m writing a book and I was looking to self publish , the first people I talked to said I should go with their five thousand package, the second offered a few packages but suggested I use their seventy-two hundred dollar package ! I thought I found salvation when I seen a publishing company that would foot the bill if they accepted my manuscript, the only drawback or atleast the only drawback I seen at that moment was they only accept four percent of manuscripts submitted. Well, I believe my story is a powerful story, I know it’s rough around the edges ( my first writing) but I believe in it so submit it I did! Imagine my sense of validation when I received an email saying they had accepted my partial manuscript and that there was a contract attached! Oh but then the cold water came, I just needed to add a check for thirty two hundred dollars for something or another. I’m a little taken aback, all the self doubt and “you’re a fool for thinking you had a chance” came flooding in like a tsunami ! Well after wallowing in my self pity I’m back on my feet and trying to finish the book, that’s my buisness. Letting the details get worked out is Gods buisness! Ill leave Him to it cause He does just fine without my input! If you have suggestions there’s lots of room to leave them in the comments but if nothing else say a prayer that I may find the way and means to get this book published! Ill keep you posted!

No, no, no you do not ever pay to have a book published.ifyou feel your story is good do it yourself at lulu for free. They get most of the profit but do you realize how many you have to sell to recoup that amount of money? I published my friends poetry book on lulu and it turned out awesome
Really? I’m going to check into it, did the poetry book turn a profit?
