Default Many options

Hi Mary,

Self-publishing is an option and I have friends who have done that.

However, before you go that route, why not try to publish it conventionally? Publishing houses rarely accept unsolicited manuscripts, so your first job is to try and interest an agent who handles non-fiction.

If you're interested, there are internet sites that list LEGITIMATE agents. While they may require that you pay for postage and other small administrative expenses, real agents do not charge a reading fee.

Another alternative is to enter contests for unpublished manuscripts.

In all the above matters, the Writers' Federation of Saskatchewan webpage would be an excellent place to start your journey toward being a published author.

Good Luck & Don't Give Up!
