Shadowman : I don't understand one thing : you plan to sell your book ? I've seen you are making a magazine, and so writing your story, but how old are you ?
Because to publish a book, you need a lot of money. Moolah ? no... dollaaaars ! $$$ haha ^^.
I'd really like to see some of your drawings.
I am 17 and will be 18 on April. I have realy began to pick up alot of pace on An Imp's Tale since we got new workers for the Magizine. In regards to publishing, yeah you ain't lie'n when you say it takes a lot of money to publish a book, and it is hard to find a publisher who will publish your book if this is your first book.
Your publisher pays you too so they can print your book and they can make money off it. Know thats all fine and dandy, but I still got to pay my own money to try and get this book published. So you get publishers that help these kind of first time writters out. What they do is say, "all right we will publish your book, and you don't pay a dime for anything, but..." they will have you do one of these things
1. Get less money from the publishers
2. They will create a shared income (such as they get 95% of profit)
3. You do promotional stuff and things of that sort, sign book, have it sold in Barnes and Nobles things like that. (this one what most commonly happens)

And I will try and get up some pictures
P.S. Thanks for all your comments everyone, they mean a lot
