I was going to suggest purchasing a book called Writers Market that lists publications- what they look to publish and how to get them published. I noticed though, that they do have a website as well: www.writersmarket.com.  I have used the book several times and because there is so much information it is not always user-friendly, but it will get the job done for you.....

Unless you are a prodigy and I am guessing by your spelling you are not, most publishing houses will not do this for free. And most won't publish unless you have an agent, and most agents won't take you unless you have been published (a biatch isn't it?) I have listed a company below that will aid you in publishing your works with out sponsorship from a major publishing company. It will cost you, but it guarantees publication and some distribution opportunities (such as Barnes & Noble, Walden Books, and some websites that just sell books).  If they are just short stories, send them into magazines, sometimes they will pay you for your stories. A word of advice, practice your grammar and spelling technics, it costs extra to have your manuscripts proofread. Good luck!

ideally you would have someone acting as an editor to preview your work before you submit it to a publisher, keep in mind alot of publishers work with agents of writers and might not take submission

You need an agent, most will take 15 to 20% though; some also have reading fees. You could self publish, but this will cost you a fortune. Ask at your library they'll be able to help you.

You could write a story or take some pictures and have it published as a book.

That is kind of a broad statement. If you are doing a book, certainly you have something specific in mind?\n\nFirst of all, are you in the United States or in a different country? Programs and services vary greatly depending on where you live.

I have used a program called E-paper to write E-books. However, it is not secure and the author does a pretty good job of advertising on the product.  Advertise on E-bay, sell it direct for a while. You will need to set up an E-mail account, I prefer to use PAYPAL for money transfers on the internet. Later consider using www.clickbank.com\nSorry, I had to come back and edit. If you sell the item through paypal, you can put on the receipt back to them the website where to download the ebook. You can even use one of the free websites

There are many routes you can take. I tend to send clients the route less traveled as you have a better chance of getting picked up.  Most say you need an agent, and yes that is true if you want to be published by Powerhouse or other Large Publishing company.  However, they often pass on great books because they have so many in progress.  I manage writers, poets, models, and musicians. For all my writers I send them to small publishing houses first. I currently have a client and friend signed to YinSumi Press (www.yinsumi.com) at first I was hesistant to send her but they gave the best long term deal.  It is ran by people who have worked in the entertainment industry for over 15 years. So they already have her doing speaking engagements and her book doesn't go to press until August. Plus she will earn more than the larger publishing house was offering her.  They are a small publshing house with all the connections of a large publishing house. You might want to check them out. But if you do choose to go to a large publishing house, please get an agent and be patient, it may take years before anyone picks up your story.

Check out Booklocker at the source.  Using their system you can self publish and keep all rights.  Read the FAQ's.  They will help you with many of the publishing tasks for a reasonable fee; or you can do most or all of it yourself.  They are selective but will review almost anything.  Good luck with your book.
