Soooooo. I have found 2 self-publishing companies that could help me actually sell my book once I finish. It'll most likely be a long process for me to finish as I have to be able to balance it with schoolwork. I think it will be something I can put more heavy time into when it hits summer time.
I found someone who would be willing to do the cover art and a few illustrations for me, but it would take a while for her to get to it which I'm fine with really.
The cost at one website uses a package at 800$ and they would distribute it online to Amazon, Barnes&Nobles, and other retail bookstores. They will offer it in paperback as well and handle the ISBN codes and such.
So really I have to work on a manuscript for them, and I'm glad that my friend said she could offer help from her sister who is an editor.
Before I even think of paying them and doing this, I will give my manuscript to some people for reading to know if it would be good.
I have a title and a basic plot so far.
And if anyone has any techniques they use for writing chapters, let me know.
I'm not very great with traditional outlines, so that is why I ask.
Thank you!
