Basically, make a prewriting page as if it were an essay on a test.

Hope I helped!

By the way, Harry Potter is awesome. As you can tell by my Picture, I’m a fan.

The second and more difficult path is to find a traditional publisher. You’ll need to research publishers who are interested in books like yours – for example it would be a waste of time submitting a romance novel to a publisher who is interested only in science fiction. You can research publishers by using a book called "The Writer’s Marketplace" (the title varies in different countries,) which is available in most public libraries and contains an index of various publishers and their requirements. Only a handful of publishers will accept unsolicited manuscripts, so you may wish to find an agent who will do this on your behalf.

Usually, agents and publishers will ask to see the first three chapters of your book and will advise on their website how they like the manuscript to be formatted (more often than not they’ll ask for a manuscript that is double spaced, with 3cm margins). Publishers receive many manuscripts per year and of these will only publish a small few, so competition is quite fierce. Don’t be alarmed if your manuscript is rejected – most are. It can take many years before a book is published. Try to stand out from the crowd by submitting only your best and most original work.

The advantages of using a traditional publisher is that you’ll have a team to design a cover and market your novel. Your book will be available in stores and may even hit the international market.

Best of luck with publishing, whatever path you choose.

You can create books yourself at sites such as Blurb or Kodak or Adorama, but these may not be of the type you are wanting. If you are planning to create your own book, be SURE you are going to get FULL SIZE HIGH RESOLUTION copies of all your photos on CD or DVD. If you only get web size and resolution photos, they will not be suitable for printing.

LUCY… I have found a place that can do what you want. I was going to email you personally, but there is no email link. Hopefully you will see this addition. We Design Albums will accept your photos, design, print, and bind the album. Looks like some nice work, though I have never used them. Pricing is not cheap, but actually quite low cost for what this typically costs. It is far less than what I would be forced to charge for such an album. Here is the link:

Isaacs’ career and personal life also fared controversy, with the singer facing legal battles and a stint in prison in his earlier years, mostly owing to his battle with a severe cocaine addiction. However, Isaacs continued to carve his name in reggae history over the next three decades, producing and releasing records on his independent imprint African Museum, touring and working with a plethora of reggae talent, including Freddie McGregor and Beres Hammond.

Many mainstream audiences will be most familiar with Isaacs’ most commercial hit, 1982′s “Night Nurse”. His presence was also felt in hip hop; most notably Mos Def sampled 1981′s “If I Don’t Have You” on his single, “Ms. Fat Booty”.

1. Write a novel (that’s the easy part).
2. Edit the novel (that the fun part).
3. Market the novel to a publisher (that’s the part I hate the most).
4. Sell the novel (lots of luck).
5. Edit the novel to the editor’s specifications (not nearly as much fun as your own edit).
6. The publisher prints the novel (you will hate the cover art).
7. The novel is distributed to a bookstore (that’s kind of fun too).
8. Promote your novel (this can be really scary, putting yourself out there and all).
9. Hope the bookstores sell out of your novel within a month and reorders (if not they pull the book to make space for the next author).
10. Start over at number one again to produce your second novel (no, really, you have to).

What you have come across on the web that suggest you must pay for their services are called vanity press. For a lot more money then you can afford (trust me, they want lots of your money) they will print your book. You will end up with a garage full of books and no way to market them. A mainstream publisher will not charge you to publish your book, they will pay you. That is a very important difference.
