[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 15924121, member: 67454"] Also: nuts and bolts stuff: 1.) You do not need to get a copyright. You can, but it costs money and isn't necessary. All original works have a natural copyright, one that holds up in court, if you ever need it. 2.) Forget about getting an agent. You don't need it, and at your level they'll want money up front. It's not cheap, and it isn't necessary. Used to be publishers only talked to agents, not new authors. so new authors needed agents. Not with Amazon, they don't. 3.) DO NOT give one red cent of your money to any organization that offers to publish your story for a certain fee. These are called "vanity publishers," and they are always a rip off. And there is nothing they can do for you that you can't get done via Amazon, i.e., put your work up in front of millions of potential readers. 4.) Self-publish on Amazon: it's easy, you can figure it out in one evening, and you don't owe a cent to anyone, and you can't find a larger, wider, potential audience. [/QUOTE]
