Answer 1

Self-publishing could be a good option. Do a search online for "self publishing" & sites will pop up.

Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* The Self-Publishing Manual: How to Write, Print, and Sell Your Own Book, 14th Edition by Dan Poynter
* Complete Guide to Self Publishing: Everything You Need to Know to Write, Publish, Promote, and Sell Your Own Book (Self-Publishing 4th Edition) by Tom Ross
* A Basic Guide to Writing, Selling, and Promoting Children's Books : Plus Information about Self-publishing by Betsy B. Lee

There are lots of free informational resources out there as well. Check the source box for links to articles.

Also, be sure to copyright your work. You can do this at the US Copyright Office. Go to the last link in the source box for Literary Works. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $45 per application.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Answer 2

Hey there Sunflower. Have you thought about writing them online and selling as e-books? You can make a lot of money this way. Take a look at some of the big book sellers, They are putting most of the books they have in stock online as e-books as they can see the GLOBAL market they are missing out on.

You will be able to charge less for the books and will make more for yourself as your over heads are lower.

Once set up the website will make money for you even while you sleep.
