So, you have a story all written, edited and ready for publication. With the modern technology available today you no longer have to send out tons of query letters to publication offices looking for the one place who will agree to try you out. Now, don't get me wrong, I still suggest doing that, but you do have options for the mean time that you can take part in to better feel like you are helping yourself more.
What I am talking about is the sites available for print on demand and ebook publications. There are two sites that I have found to recommend.
Cafepress.com is a site where you can upload your document(pdf form), and pics as needed. They have a complete online learning centre which helps you to setup your book format as required. Also this site is beneficial if you are also an artist and would like to promote your work. There are tons of products you can put your designs on and sell at a price you choose over the cost of the base price(which by the way, you don't pay until someone buys your product).check out all the site has to offer. You won't regret it. http://www.cafepress.com
The next site I would like to tell you about is Lulu.com. This site is along the same lines as Cafepress.com except you have the option of having your book developed as an ebook as well as hard copy. That way you can have the extra benefit of two income streams from the same product idea. Go compare layouts, and prices at http://www.Lulu.com
The great thing about these sites is that you retain all rights to your work and can have both sites set up for sales, as well as even on your own site, if you have one and the software to create an ebook. We can get into Ebook compliers and the best on the market at another time.

This is a poem I wrote for my mother on her birthday some years back. I am sure some of you out there will be able to relate to it in regards to your own mother.

The Little Woman

She cooks and cleans and scrubs the walls
With never a word of dismay
She mends and irons and washes the clothes
She toils all through the day.

The children come home with a shout and a holler
She is down on her hands and knees
They want a snack with no concern for her back
Just grabbing with no words of “please”

When the children are sick and up in the night
She tends them and rocks them to sleep
No thought for herself or the sleep she will miss
She sings softly so they don’t weep.

The children all grow and move out on their own
And the little woman can rest.
She can smile and be glad in her heart
For she knows she has done her best.

Melanie Bremner Doran copywritten 1996
