I spent the morning finishing the eighth draft of “Very Grateful”, the memoir I’m writing about my mom. Tomorrow I’ll begin the introduction and epilogue.
What about getting it published? I don’t want to spend the time and energy looking for a traditional publisher, only to be told that no one is interested. Heinnemann published my books for teachers but it only publishes educational material.
So, self-publishing is the way to go: e-book and hard copy on demand. I’m a neophyte on all of this so if any of you blog readers have suggestions, please email me. I’d welcome any thoughts of the follow, and anything else you have to offer:
• Companies you recommend
• Pros and cons of self-publishing
• Articles on the topic
• Expenses worth pursuing; expenses worth avoiding
• A live person who has self-published and who would be willing to talk with me. I would deeply appreciate that!
• Other random, and not so random ideas.
