Anyone else publishing?

[treegod]

From what I see most publishing is done by submitting a Pdf, but I have no idea how to use a pdf, except reading it. Any one got any tips about that?

Without knowing your system, I can't give specific advice, but OpenOffice (as well as LibreOffice) can export directly to PDF and most Linux systems will have PDF as a printing option.

If you use a Windows PC, Cute PDF - http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp - is a program I used to use. It installs itself as a printer; you choose CutePDF as your printer and then hit print, then it creates a PDF file which you can save wherever you want.

Thanks for that Duellist, I'll have a look.

Greetings, all! As an Ovate, I developed a divination method which I'd like to get published, even self-published, but I don't know the first thing about this. Has anyone here done anything like this before, or know anyone who has that might be willing to discuss this with me? It is not a tarot deck, but involves cards and an instruction booklet. The good news is that Jen Delyth (who I first met in 2009) has agreed to do the design work, if I get the publishing mechanics (and a marketing strategy) in place. You may remember her now iconic Celtic Tree of Life, and she has a website filled with glorious art. http://celticartstudio.com/ Anyway, I would hate to miss a chance to see what she can do on this oracle I am developing. Any comments would be very much appreciated.

For those looking to be published, I recommend my publisher, PublishAmerica http://www.publishamerica.com. Unlike other Publishing companies, they will publish your book for free, give free editing, cover design, ect... your royalties are small at first, but as you sell more, your royalties go up. It's really not a bad deal.
