Places You Can Go To Get Some Basics

Okay here's a reading assignment for anyone who is thinking about publishing a book.

Pete Masterson has links to everything about self-publishing at his website. http://www.aeonix.com/

Learn about the No. 1 book event in the U.S. - Book Expo America. http://www.bookexpoamerica.com

It will be overwhelming. But if you don't do your homework it's hard to pass the course.
