  • This was very helpful, thank you for the information Keith.
  • Keith, I appreciate your kindness to those who want to get published. I'm working on my "Positive Friends" newsletter-book and is looking forward to it being in my hands before my 71st birthday.
  • Thank you Mr. Orgorek, I enjoyed reading and receiving all the help. I am new to the publishing world (support- self-publishing). My children's short storybook will be in my hands sometime this summer. I, like many have sat on my story for about 20 years. I now have two more children's short stories that I want to publish next year. I am filled with all sort of emotions. Very exciting and scarey, too. Listening to your comments was quite re-assuring to me. All authors need encouragement more than anything. It keeps us motivated to continue to the end. I live in a small town, surrounded by small towns in Southern Illinois. Selling my book at events will be challenging. There are small festivals and libraries. I may have to trek to St. Louis ( about an hour or so away.) I also have family in Atlanta, Ga, and could do some promoting there as well. Thanks again. Blessings in your endevors.
  • Thank you Keith! This was really good and lucid information.
  • Thank you very much for oulining the whole process which really makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the encouragement that all is possible. My manuscript is been edited while I proofread some parts. I have already set Christmas as the time when I will hold the book into my hands and already visiualize the book launch celebration with anticipation, yet some worry about what am I going to say and what if I start crying...I am very easily moved to tears...Thanks again for a wonderful constractive encouragement!
