has anyone here ever been published?

[redsamurai]

For anything?


Did you get published twice? How long inbetween? What were your experiences with the publishing business?

 

[stilleto]

yes, plenty of times.

short stories, articles, and a lot of interest in a book that's taking me a long time to finish.

I've had very positive experiences and made some money.

I had an article published last month in a trade magazine and just sent in another article to a different one, although the leader in the industry.
I was asked to write one for a big police magazine, but haven't started that yet.

My buddy wrote this book:
Amazon.com: MCSE TCP/IP for Dummies: Cameron Brandon, Eckhart Boehme: Books

Nerd alert!

Has a second unrelated book published but forgot the name, he's working on his third.

Interesting. How did you go about getting your short stories and articles published? Did you have an agent or did you send the stuff out yourself?

I don't know anything outside of how publishing in academic journals works... how much does it cost to publish your own work? Hundreds, thousands of dollars? Or do you just find a publishing company that thinks they can make a profit off of your book? (If they don't, then what?)

I'm sure anyone can pay to self-publish their work, but at what level does one get their book carried by, say, Barnes and Nobel, Borders, or other bookstore chains?

Wow, that was a lot of questions for one post. Sorry, lol.

I would imagine self publishing is worthless unless you're a "VERY" known author. You can self publish and maybe get your shit sold on amazon, but how are people going to know about it.

Stilletto, can I ask "approx" how much money you made from your publshings? If you don't want to answer that I totally understand, or if you want to pm it that's cool. Just a ballpark figure is all I'm looking for.
