Read "Gettting Your Book Published for Dummies".  Investigate Lulu.com.  All of my books, four novels, a collection of poems, several collections of short stories, a collection of recipes, a collections of Christian humor, are published and available on Lulu.com.  Promotion of your book is as much part of it as writing it. jcc

Do not write it out longhand. I killed an entire forest when I wrote a short (5000 word) story.

Seriously, the best advice I can give you is just do it! Write it for yourself it is a very rewarding experience.

 

Shameless plug: My story is titled The Final Round: A Story. It can be found at Poets and Writers Forum under the heading A SHORT STORY. Please read and comment.

I look forward to reading your story so please post at least a part of it here.
