I've never done this before but I've written a children's story which I think is unique. ( I know, I know, every aspiring author thinks that) anyway, how can I narrow down my search to the publishers that would be the most likely to show interest?
Breifly, the story is about a single mother who takes up surfing. It has it's roots in a real life individual I know and I've adapted her story to a children's-style storytelling. (at least I think I have).

I walk around and meet inner city bums, I give them a piece of paper and a pen and ask them to write anything they would like. I compile around 200-500 bum stories/writings from various cities, I put in my own passages between bum entries and I make a book.


Second idea, I live off of $1 a day for a year and write about my experience. I keep my job, I get ride of all my unnecessary expenses and try to save all of my income for the year except for $365 (a little less than one weeks pay). This idea was inspired by the estimate that around half the world's population lives off of less than a dollar a day.


Last idea, a fictional story about a young boy named Gary. On his 11th birthday, young Gary Putter discovers the life he never knew he had, the life of a wizard. Gary attends the famous Analwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to start his 7 year long wizard education. On his way to becoming a wizard Gary overcomes various exciting obstacles...


Nobody better steel my ideas now!

I remember reading a book as a child, but I don't remember much about it. The title I have in my head is "The Abominable Yeti", but I don't think the book I've found on Amazon with that title is the same one. I'm sorry I don't have more information, and I know that anybody knowing what the book is with the information available is probably never going to happen, but if somebody could help me find this book I'd be forever grateful.
