I have written a very short story about my life and family, alot of people say that I should turn it into a book to help suicide people understand that suicide is not the answer. But honestly I'm not much of a writer I am good at telling people my life and things but cant write. Is there a publisher out there that lets me tell them my story and they can write it for me? I really want this to be a book because I feel like I owe it to my brother so people can hear his and my story. Just giving me a number, name or anything from a publisher will help me to make my story into a book.

I have been trying to read the all three books, but there are full of vocabularies that I do not know, and I have no idea what the heck he is talking about.

I am doing this for my homework, which it asks “Give your overall perception and analysis of the art of love in pagan Roman culture as presented in Ovid’s poem.” And “Compare and contrast what Ovid says about the subject of love catching and making with the “rules” of the game yourself-as a representative of your culture—go by. For example, what of Ovid’s advice do you agree with, or disagree with? Are you bemused or disgusted by anything the poet says or recommends in relation to your own “ways of the hunt?”

I am told to write an essay on this.

Please help!

The family of (murdered along with Nicole Simpson) Ron Goldman has bought the rights to the book that O.J. failed to publish under the title "If I Did It". Apparently, the Goldman family wants to get the book published under a different title, such as "Confessions of a Double Murderer".
If it IS published, with the proceeds going to fund the expenses of those still pursuing O.J. in the civil courts, will anyone else but me be buying it?

I am writing a novel you could say. And I have the story worked out pretty much, and I know the genre. But here is the thing.

How should it look while I write it?
should my manuscript look single spaces, doubled, with the page numbers or whatever?
also, can a manuscript be arranged to fit a single page, or whatever?

how should the chapters be separated?

of course I might think of submitting it for publishing. how should I submit it? should I submit only a portion of it, or should I wait until it is finished?

thanks, and 10 points to the winner.

Let's say you've written your first book (sci-fi, fiction) and you would like to send you manuscript to a publisher for consideration. What publishers are open to new writers.

If you're a writer and have a book published (even a children's book), what did you do?

I've been thinking and reading alot lately about my dearly beloved...Remus Lupin.
I just posted something about maybe him dieing but think about this for a moment...

Who was one of Remus's best friends? Sirius BLACK!
And if R.A.B really is Regulus(I dont know how to spell it and I dont have time to look it up) then who would know? Sirius, right? And Remus being Sirius's one of three best friends would know, maybe just maybe...right?
Also Remus is one of the smartest wizards mention in the book.

Maybe finding his brightness takes a while to realize and isnt given plain out to you...but think about this it's hard VERY hard for a wizard to produce magic without a wand but yet in book 3 he produces fir balls from his hands!

Also he comes from the battle in Ministry unscathed. The only other wizard to do this is Albus Dumbledore!!

Maybe Lupin knows ALOT we don't.

Do you think Remus could possibly know if R.A.B is infact Regulus Black?

Ok, I have been madly in love with Remus since 2nd or 3rd grade...cant remember...and now lately everyones telling me he's coming to a 'fast end' and wont make it much farther...I'm almost in tears thinking of it...

Remus and Sirius were my FAVOURITE characters!
I cried forever after Sirius's death...

With all these people telling me to give up on my love for Remus make me sad...I dont want to lose him in the stories.

Everyone I know keeps sayign since he plays a major role...that major role is dieing...

Do you think he'll make it to the end or not?

I want honest answers...
Ohh man...I'm gonna cry if he dies.
