    If you go to amazon, they will walk you through it. I know writers and hope to be one of them who got someone in the know how to format the book for kindle, getting someone to make a cover--or use kindle and then it's not expensive. If you let Kindle publish you it will cost you more. My publisher for my book did everything, but now that it's a vanity press I'd have to pay her anyway, so I'm going to try and do it myself on Kindle. That way you have more control.

    Jessica, you should publish your book either with small press or on kindle and self-publish. I'm trying that next with my collections of short stories. If you write short stories or novellas there's tons of places to submit to on-line and some even pay, but you'll build up a resume with the publications. Go for it!!

    Hi Jessica, I just wrote a note to Micki informing her that Slush Pile Inspector will be Free on Kindle tomorrow Sat. 15 June if you want to read something different based on the publishing industry where a taxi driver is forced to become a literary agent and the ensuing adventures that result.

    Thanks, Jessica, your words mean a lot to mean. We writers are not self-confideent in our works--at least not me. :) And if I write a dozen more books, only this one matters.

    I read your bio and an historical fiction of mine based on travels years, years, and more years ago as a kid is recommended as a possible interesting "preview" read--Atlantic City Nazi--a showgirl on the beach.

    Wooooow. Librarian job sounds sooooo interesting and surprising.Having a new task everyday is so amazing. I think librarian job is not like other jobs because it has new task everyday. Yes, I wiould like to be a librarian even more now. I also have interest in other jobs such as becoming a fashion designer or a musician. But I think librarian job is even better than any of these.

    So what is your opinion on my becoming of librarian? And also what qualifications should we have to become a librarian?

    Thanks,
    Manogna... :)

    Hi, glad to hear you like literature and biographies. Perhaps you might like . . . And the Whippoorwill Sang, a true family story of love, laughter, loss and survival. It has the humor of "Cheaper by the Dozen" with the heart of "To KIll a Mockingbird." You can open the book and read some pages and also any of 31 5 star reviwews.
    Nice to me and follow your reading.

    Yes. I live in India. I was born in India and that's my native country. I've never been to foreign countries. I was just surprised that how UK, USA looks. I mean many people told me that New York, Paris and London are the beautiful and brightest countries. So I was very curious to take a visit. But you know, I am very young to do that. Adventures, fairy tales, spy/ detective novels, mystery and paranormal romance are my favorite kind of books. But I'm not only interested in these genres, but I try different types of books. Yeah ofcourse you are right about reading books in English. We have Engllish subject in our schools and I don't really read my class books. I always read novels infront my tests and I score even more mark than anybody else.

    So tell me more about your experiences in library.

    Thanks,
    Manogna.... :)

    Do you know how old I am? 13 years old. I started loving and reading books when I was 11. Now it became a habit for me. It takes a little more time for me to read because our native languaage is not English. So it was a little difficult for me to understand some meanings. I always wanted to become a librarian. I love libraries and bookstores but there are no bookstores near by my home. SO whenever I visit town. I will get almost 8 books. SO that they long last until my next visit to town.
