AboutRik Feeney Expertise I can answer any questions from the development of an idea into a book manuscript, electronic book, PDF file, or Audio book. I design book covers, do interior design, and light book editing. My forte is creative ideas particularly as they relate to marketing and promoting your book.
Experience My first book "Gymnastics: A Guide for Parents & Athletes" was traditionally published in 1992 by Masters Press and is now available through McGraw-Hill. My second book, now as an independent publisher, was a "Quick Pick for Young Readers" by the American Library Association. Since then I have 44 book products for sale through my own web site and many of the major online book stores like Amazon.com.

Question I have a book to write with pictures. I really need some help here, I can do the book, it is all these websites that want money to join. Since the book is based upon pictures of signs, where do I begin. I seen only 1% get published? I don't get this I believe God has given me a gift and I want to share it.
Answer Hi Pamela,
What web sites are you talking about? (i.e. "all these websites that want money to join.")
What do these web sites do?
Are you able to take pictures of the signs you want to use in your book? If not, you may be able to find these signs on stock photo web sites - but you would have to pay a small amount even if you get royalty free pictures.
Publishing is rarely a problem; the quality of the publication could be.
Pamela, I need a bit more information to be able to answer your questions in a more effective manner.
