The current season is the 8th and final season. I've watched only 3 episodes this season, so I can't tell you what's going on, but you can use sites like the official one http://thewb.warnerbros.com/web/show.jsp?id=CH and tv.com plus billions of fansites (just google[.com] "Charmed") to find out what's going on and things like the spells used and such.

You can get his address from the website www.mugglenet.com or Danradcliffe.com. That's what i did and i got a response 3 months later though, but it's worth it. You get his newsletter and a autographed picture. So you should try this. Beware there are two adresses but i chose the first one.

Agree somewhat with the first post. \n\nYou have to be very, very careful in the self-publishing market, especially with vanity presses. Do you know anyone who has self-published? Ask them for detailed, inside information. I did that after I learned my uncle knew a professor who had self-published his first book. If not, investigate the companies thoroughly.\n\nYes, you pay everything up front when self-publishing, and even have to buy your own author copies. Some companies, like Dorance (sp) Publishing, might require you to guarantee them that you can sell X number of books before they will print. Other companies like Author House (reputable - I know someone who has used their services, and considered it myself) will sell you publicity and marketing packages along with your self-publishing contract. That way, you can focus on what you do best: write. Unless you've got a mouthpiece of have tons of money to pay in newspaper ads, buying a package such as this might be better, since professionals do this for you, and you have a better chance of selling your books.\n\nI have not really looked into on-demand printing; I dismissed it as an option early on. I learned from someone with experience, that on-demand publishing does not generate a lot of sales. \n\nThe best way to start your journey to becoming a best-selling author is to do your research. Get books like The Novel Writer's Toolkit (if you're writing novels), books on book publicity (tons), and especially the Writers' Market series of books. Go to your library in the writing section and explore. There is tons of information, even how-to books on writing queries, synopses and proposals. You will still need a synopsis and/or propsal even if you intend to self-publish your book.\n\nI have thought about self-publishing my novel, but I have been directed into a different path. I'm working on finding an agent. Writers have much better success, in general, when an agent believes in their work and sells it to a publishing house. If you've never been published, it will be hard, but don't give up on the first no, because there might be a lot of no's.\n\nGood luck, from one author to another.

Do you need someone to write stories FOR you or do you need someplace to find them? If you just need to find them you can always go to FanFiction.net. If you need someone to write them for you, send me an e-mail with the specifics at marcial.guevara@sbcglobal.net and I'll do my best.

I love the Series of Unfortunate Events! There is a lot that Book 12 leaves unanswered, though. I'm just waiting for Book 13. \n\nYou might be interested in the authorized autobiography of Lemony Snicket. Search Amazon for it.

In your local library they should have something called the writers guide...in this there are all the magazines that accept contributions, what their requirements are and what and if they pay.\n\nThat is always a good place to start.

You get an account with book wholesalers such as Ingram Book http://www.ingrambook.com/ They have a page specifically for book sellers like you with the instructions on how to order from them and get an account with them http://www.ingrambook.com/new/booksellers.asp\n\nI also suggest you attend the Book Expo America http://www.bookexpoamerica.com/App/homepage.cfm?appname=288&moduleid=42 which is a major and definitely one of the biggest trade shows ever. Next year it will be in New York, so start making plans to attend. I attended this year's expo in Washington DC and all the book publishers big and small are represented in the expo. This is the best place to create accounts and meet book publishers.\n\nAlso, get a copy of the book Writers Market for listings of book publishers. Contact each individual publishers and create an account with them. For example, Time Warner Books (Hatchett Group) has a page on their website for Bookseller Services including their catalogs and backlists http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/catalog/index.shtml\n\nThe trade magazine Publisher's Weekly website has a list of important industry links http://www.publishersweekly.com/industryResources.html from publishing associations to publishing industry. \nhttp://www.publishersweekly.com/industryResources.html

I am a devoted fan. I own every season out so far except 4 which came out yesterday and I will be getting payday. I watch everyday on tnt and every Sunday faithfully. An aquaintance had a baby shower and my gift was a triquetra baby blanket (the baby's name is Wyatt). I think I am obsessed. For more Charmed reading go to www.thecharmedones.com. I got my wallpaper off of there and my husband asked if I was going a bit overboard?

Just mail them by finding they're mailing address on the internet. Mail them and you will receive a newsletter and maybe a pre-printed autograph and if you are lucky enough you will gert an origingal. I sent a letter to Daniel Radcliffe(Harry Potter) a few months ago and I got a real autograph in the mail yesterday. It was the real one and he addressed the envolope to me!!!!!!! I about died when I got it in the mail!!!!!

Check out Booklocker at the source.  Using their system you can self publish and keep all rights.  Read the FAQ's.  They will help you with many of the publishing tasks for a reasonable fee; or you can do most or all of it yourself.  They are selective but will review almost anything.  Good luck with your book.

you can go to any publishing company and ask them about that... if your story is interesting, they'll agree to publish your story.

You basically want to become a book publishing agent, where authors would come to you and you help them get published. Your role as an agent would be to make the process of finding a publisher for writers easier, faster, and hopefully, more lucrative. \n\nYou help writers craft better book proposals, you pitch the proposals to publishers and you help negotiate the deal between the writer and publisher.\n\nLiterary agents have different ways to earn. Typically, they earn by commission basis (often 15 percent) on the books they sell and everything relating to that book, such as excerpted magazine articles, audio tapes and films (but not speeches and personal appearances). Agents usually receive 20 percent for overseas sales.  Some agents charge reading fees just for looking at book proposal, and many charge for the costs incurred in making the deal happen (e.g. photocopying costs, telephone costs, etc) over and above the 15% commission.\n\nOther types of agents charge by the hour the work they do on author's proposal - from reading the book proposal to marketing the proposal. So even if they failed to get a publisher interested in the book and publish the book, they get paid for the hourly work done for the prospective author.
