2. Where to start Know your audience especially their pocketbook Look for a publisher who will work with you Spend as little out of pocket as possible Read the contract carefully-don’t trust anyone Do self promotion Don’t expect to be a millionaire unless you are writing smut novels Document all sites and sources utilized

3. Illustrations For fiction-locate a young talented artist who will not cost you an arm and/or leg-great publicity for both of you For nonfiction-check out museums and similar sites where the costs will be minimal…go to the original family for permission as a last resort.
