I will have to answer both questions.\n\nOne.\nYou need to contact a literary agent, many have reading fees for unsolicitated manuscripts (which is what you have).  Some do not have these fees and it may be a better idea for you.  Remember, the agent, once he agrees to represent you will take care of everything else, so choose wisely.\n\nTwo.\nYou must write at least a rough draft of your book.  Even a ghost writer (someone who writes books for other people) will require a rough draft of your story.  Get on that immediately.  I would recommend that you outline your story by bullet points.  \n\nJohn mets Nancy\nNancy's Mom dies\nJohn at the funeral\nNancy breaks up with John\nJohn cries at the bridge....\n\nOutlining helps non-writers and writers alike remember how they want to tell their story.\n\nGood luck and get to work.

What you are looking for is called a "Vanity Press" of "Vanity Publisher".\n\nHere's the information I dug up.\n\nTells you what to watch out for and gives alternatives:\nhttp://www.sfwa.org/beware/vanitypublishers.html\n\nSource for self publishing:\nhttp://www.booksjustbooks.com/\n\n\nAdditional information on self publishing:\nhttp://experts.about.com/z/js/o.htm?k=self-publish&d=Self-Publish&r=http%3A//experts.about.com/q/Writing-Books-675/publish-book-1.htm\n\n\nI hope this information is useful to you. Check prices and fees when the project is complete because they could change by the time you are ready to go to print.\n\nBest wishes,\n\nBlewz4u\n\nPS. You may want to offer it up for mass market publishing, you could have a best seller when you are finished with it.

That is kind of a broad statement. If you are doing a book, certainly you have something specific in mind?\n\nFirst of all, are you in the United States or in a different country? Programs and services vary greatly depending on where you live.

There are many routes you can take. I tend to send clients the route less traveled as you have a better chance of getting picked up.  Most say you need an agent, and yes that is true if you want to be published by Powerhouse or other Large Publishing company.  However, they often pass on great books because they have so many in progress.  I manage writers, poets, models, and musicians. For all my writers I send them to small publishing houses first. I currently have a client and friend signed to YinSumi Press (www.yinsumi.com) at first I was hesistant to send her but they gave the best long term deal.  It is ran by people who have worked in the entertainment industry for over 15 years. So they already have her doing speaking engagements and her book doesn't go to press until August. Plus she will earn more than the larger publishing house was offering her.  They are a small publshing house with all the connections of a large publishing house. You might want to check them out. But if you do choose to go to a large publishing house, please get an agent and be patient, it may take years before anyone picks up your story.

You can't get a legal one - the author and publisher will not agree to publish electronic editions.\n\nYou might just want to go to your local Public Library - all the books in there are legal and FREE

I don't have any links, but stroll through your campus bookstore and look at publishers.  Contact them, let them know you are a college instructor and what subject, and they will almost always send you a free copy (must be mailed to your address at the college).  Take it a step further, agree to review and critique the book, and they'll usually pay you - couple hundred dollars or so.

You can publish it yourself using a script software.  Getting it read and accepted is a different process.

Get yourself a literary agent.  The age of the author is of little relevance in publishing.

You should do one of the following:\n1. send a mail to the store from where you ordered the book.  \n2. If it was on internet, you may be able to track thre.  3. If you have any telephone number, you can call and ask.\n\nyour asking a question here may not be of any help.

You can try to self-publish it. \nThis can be accomplished very inexpensively at the new online POD (print on demand) publishing outfits.\nOne such is http://www.lulu.com\nCheck it out.\nOf course, if you self publish, you'll only have the end product.  Marketing and selling it will be up to you. \nIt is a good way to start and an easier way to see your book in print, but remember: It is difficult to get published with a large publisher precisely because THEY shoulder the burden of marketing and selling your book.\n\nGood Luck.

Depends u can self-publish by using such companies as AuthorHouse, or u can do submissions for publishing companies if u want a publisher.  Follow their format and stick with a well-known name.  If the company states they only want newcomers, run away!  They are a scam.  Be careful and good luck!

Hmm, I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna be hard to sell an unpublished book online. Especially if you're not a well-known author. I guess, ask yourself, why isn't it published?\n\nTo answer your question though:\nwww.myspace.com\nwww.ebay.com\nwww.answers.yahoo.com\nwww.stickam.com\nwww.tagworld.com\nwww.facebook.com\nwww.amazon.com\nwww.half.com\nDo a search for forums with Book discussions or sales.\n\nMost of all, good luck. Try try try to get that book published..and get good reviews so you can become a well-known author. Think about every book you've heard of and sold well...it was always reviewed favorably, spread virally, and had some sort of attraction to it.\n\nBest of luck\n\n-Greg
