LOL and I just said that too, the think alike part. No, that's not necessarily a scam but what I mean is you shouldn't really have to pay for any part of the publishing process. So if you find a place that will charge you to print and bind, you are beingscammed in a way. That's just what I was told by an Ex Random House editor I met.

I mean.... just treat me like a dumb blond. How would one self publish. I mean who does that kinda stuff? Gosh I'm glad some of you guys have done this before.

Ok - so I totally have to ask!! Which story of yours do you think you'll publish??? ;D

Aww I would've liked to have read your book Mare, shame it was print on demand. If I ever see it somewhere for a sensible amount of money, then I'll buy it :)

I'd be so embaresed to publish my slash stuff even though I'm told its really good. I've given thought to the "peices of my heart" series and the story DO I HAVE TO CRY FOR YOU. I'm just a little scared of how much re-writing I would have to do to help it not look like a bsb fan fiction. Cause if its too much the same then its not really all your right?
I guess I'm just not sure of the best place to start. I mean what if I'm not good enough to be published? Aren't their rules and regulations and stuff for publishing.
Would it be best to just start by plugging into google: how to get published? I mean I totally don't wanna be scammed!
Carter-Orange:
I'd do as Mare and Jasmine suggested and google it, it doesn't cost anything to research :)
