Hi All You Lovely CWE Folk

Just to say, I had my first publisher round yesterday to look at my book "Fit For Life" and he was totally gobsmacked with it, I am so pleased, it's the first real outside feedback I've had, and he said that there should be no problem getting it published and out there! Only trouble is, and I have to say I had no idea what was involved with this sort of thing, right down to choosing the grade of paper you have it printed on!!!! it would cost an initial outlay of £800.00-£900.00!!!!!!! that is for 250 books to start with, ohmygod, I just wanted to tell you that I've sort of started the ball rolling, and if I ever win the lottery I may well get it published, I am sure it would help a lot of folk out there to deal with their epilepsy and treatment and to take a positive stance on life, just out of interest, could anyone that reads this let me know if they would be interested in reading it, I would have no idea how many to get printed initially?

I hope you are all ok, keeping positive and looking forward to Summer, we are having a wicked Spring so far, and hope the Summer is as good, I'm off into the garden with a coffee and a newspaper,pleased toreport the wobblers are keeping at bay, and I am furiously trying to find a job, but in the current economic climate, it isn't looking hopeful, chins up everyone!!!:woot:

Hi Elaine, congrats on the positive feedback.

First of all, are you aware that there is already a (relatively well known) book called [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Fit-Life-Harvey-Diamond/dp/0446300152"]Fit for Life: Harvey Diamond, Marilyn Diamond, Kay S. Lawerence: 9780446300155: Amazon.com: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51hV-6UlT3L.@@AMEPARAM@@51hV-6UlT3L[/ame]?

Second, it sounds like you are talking to a company that enables self-publishing (as opposed to the major publishing houses). You might compare costs/service with http://www.lulu.com/. I remember reading positive reviews of that company a while back when I was researching options.
