Second, consider self publishing.
The advertisements on goodreads, if you go to any writers' groups, should say something about publishing, through an agent, whatever.
Third, find every publishing company you can and send a copy of your manuscript and how much you're willing to pay.
Happy Publishing! :D

If you self-publish, shop around. There seems to be lots of competition, and you may not really need the "deluxe" package if you're prepared to make your own marketing efforts, esp. on the 'Net and through networking.

Sounds cool. It's nice to have advice from somebody who has been through the whole publishing thing, as many active members of this group are teenagers and unpublished.

no ... wait idk why i said that. lol.
but the point is that you spend some money but then you get more money when you sell ... if that makes sense.

You'll make it there, Seth. Your stories are so good! I love the ideas you come up with. :)
You could totally see your books on the shelves!
Bleh. Whatever. At least you have actually finished something . . . though book proposals might be good :D

Yeah, but the thing I finished is nowhere NEAR ready to be published. I'm never getting it published. This one ... yeah. I'd LOVE to see it on shelves. Or just on my shelf even. Printed. *fantasizes*
What do you mean 'Whatever'? Your stories are great! I love them!
i want to see one of my books on the shelves someday ... but starting off w/self-publishing is fine w/me. i figured it would be a good way to start off, and then i can work my way up to real-publishing.
