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.
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?
hey I can send you a sample of it, a copywrited poem.... my best so far...... and do you mind if we talk on yahoo im? I tried to add your screen name to my buddy list, but you regected it...
