Chapter 4

Thanks for the websites. I'll look into them.

I would try the publishamerica. They seem very good.

just curious, but if I send my book to the publishers, how do I keep people at the publisher's place from stealing my work before they publish it(basicly I'm worried that they could steal my stuff and then say that they don't want to pay me/publish it under my name)? and how do I get the first copy made so that I can send it to the publishers? btw, thanks for helping me out w/ this.

My uncle says mail it to yourself. Then it has a federal timecode on it. It'll hold up in court. Or you could get it registered.

ok. ok. that's a good idea. how do you get it registered, though? what program should I use to make a manuscript? my friend was saying to make as few copies somehow and request a few book stores to let me put a copy of it on the front desk and possible set up a poll asking questions like "Overall was it good?", "What was your favorite part?", "What did I do wrong?" and "Would you like to see more?" and stuff like that. another friend told me to go to a privately owned coffee shop(not starbucks) and see if they could sell my book. they could keep like 30% or whatever. anyway, what do you think of those ideas?

I use MSWord for my manuscripts.

But, hey, if you trust me enough to send me a copy, I'd like to read it.
If not get it registered first, then send me a copy.

I think I'm trustworthy.
