A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Gail Carson Levine:

So I’m writing my first book and i was wondering if you had any advise. Of been reading a lot things about how to outline your story and I’m not sure what i want to do, do you have any suggestions? Also, what are the pros and cons of self publishing and having a company publish it? Not everything i want to write will fit into this space so I’m going to write another question, ill put a ;] at the beginning so you know.

Gail Carson Levine You may find some help with the writing in my blog on my website: www.gailcarsonlevine.com, or in my books, WRITING MAGIC and WRITER TO WRITER. These won't help much with publishing, though. There are many other books about publishing and self-publishing.
