How did he make the book??!?
 

I was just wondering about the process that is undergone in the creation of a book.
You know, what program it was made in (any specifics?), how to get a publisher, getting it available to others.... this is a question for Brian, but if there is anyone else who can help me, please do so.
Reason for asking: I want to write a story version of something i have in my head, but I don't know how i'd get it published.

I would worry about getting it written long before I ever worried about getting it published.

This advice is of course based in the absolute scads of experience I have in doing both of these things.

Okay, so that's a lie. But it might be good advice, hypothetically speaking.

I, unlike some people, actually have a novel written in full. So, please, someone answer his question!

Wait, I know the answer. He used iUniverse. Google it.

k. I have some notes on the first fifth of the book on my desk here, and I was just curious about the publishing part. Although I WOULD like to get it published.
Anybody here think I should use Microsoft word to write it?

I wrote mine with Microsoft word.

p.s. your avatar is a freaking siezure waiting to happen :p

'kay, thanks
 

k, i'll write mine with Word then. Oh, hang on, the laptop im using for these three days only has wordpad and microsoft Works. Damn. When I get home, i'll use Word. Till then, Wordpad ho!

p.s. I'll change it after I finish writing the first chapter of my story.

Actually I do know how books are published, You send a hard copy to a publishing company, like schoolastic. There it is judged, If the company likes it they publish it. For every book sold, you get some percentage % or something of the profits.

P.S. schoolatstic sucks!

I could tell that you dislike scholastic, seeing as how you didn't care enough about them to spell their name correctly.

Yes, this is how most books are published, but he wanted to know how Nuklear Age was published. Nuklear Age was not published this way.

Also, I can't imagine most authors need particular software for just writing. I mean heck, not 2 decades ago it was done completely on a type writer. any kind of word processor will work. Fancy things like formatting and spell checking can be left up to your editor.

Yeh, I did want to know how Nuklear Age was published, because Brian isn't an "Insider", with plenty of books and a proffessional publisher like scholastic. But it's nice to no what other people do anyways. Thanks.
