Reviewing books. Well, book covers to be exact.
Ive been working on a novel in the past few months ( Since November), and I have successfully typed 96 Microsoft Word pages on the book. I have printed it out and I am ready to go show it to a publisher. I have let my cousins, parents, close friends, friends parents, and grandparents ready my book, and they think it is fantastic! I am just asking to know where i could go and pulish a book, a center or a website. Please do help!

Hi, I want to write a book for teens. I read this book, All-America Girl by Meg Cabot and I want it to be somehing like that, a romantic book, but with a small twist. Not a sappy one, a comic funny one when the girl ends up with the person least expected. Can i have suggestions on what to write about? NO deep books. Funny, romantic one would be best. Thanks! Also, a good beginning would be appreciated.
I am not copying Meg’s book. I want to do something like that! I am using it as inspiration, not as a copy. I like the idea of it and I wish to do something like that, not exactly do it!

An example of this type of binding is the note books and diaries, whereby the binding is done with stitches using an appropriate thread such that the pages cannot pluck out quite easily.
