Taldrenites > Starfleet Command Fan Fiction
Any of you guys ever think about getting published?
Reptor:
Hey, you guys need to check out Publish On Demand (POD), where you can self publish your own books easily.
The one I'm using for my own books (how to paint) is from http://www.lulu.com and its not bad at all. It cost nothing to actually make the book and create the cover. It's only when the book is ordered & printed when charges are made. They even have a storefront where you can sell your books, and lulu will handle charges, shipping, etc. The actual books are just like the ones at book stores in quality, if not better. You retain all rights as well.
Off the top of my head, it costs about $5 for binding/printing, a $1 processing fee, and .04 per page for B&W. and .15 per page for color. There's even ISBN services to get you listed at Amazon, etc.
I'm thinking of popping out a work of fiction soon after I finish my how-to stuff. My site about my current books are at http://embark.to/paint
You writers need to check it out. It was cool getting my first self published book. Just showing it off to friends & family made it worth it. ;D

Wait until you get your first paycheck. There's nothing like that feeling in the world.

I do know that one of the Former Writers here had some Luck getting Published. Blyre was able to get a short story.

Guess what? Their editors reread my story and they are interested in publishing it in an upcoming issue. Now, this isn't a paying gig, but at least it will get my name out there among the readers.
Happy, happy!

Steve, you should consider a career as a publicist...hehe :)
Seriously, Guys, I've been planning on penning a few lines here and there for this forum, but I've been delayed by outside issues.
I consider myself very fortunate to having been published and to be considered a regular contributing writer over at Bewildering Stories and though it's not a paying gig, the satisfaction is still there. Baby steps, baby steps.
Keep the faith,
Wallace
