Part 1:
Based on the information in this lesson, think about whether you're leaning toward traditional or nontraditional publishing. Make a list of your reasons in your notebook. If you have questions, post them in the Discussion Area!
Part 2:
Using Writer's Market or a similar reference guide, find a publisher or agent that you think would be right for your book. In your notebook, answer these questions:
- What appeals to you about that agent or publisher?
- Why do you think your book would be a good fit?
Right now I am leaning towards nontraditional publishing because I will have more control and I don't need the validation of being published by a traditional (real) publisher.
I plan to use multiple editors; writing group, friends and possibly a professional editor so the book will be the best I can make it.
My main reasons for writing this book is to learn how to write a book, learn how to self publish (initially using Amazon and Create Space), get my book into the hands of readers quickly, and promote painting on location.
p.s. I ordered writers market from library so will be able to do part 2 of this assignment. I thought our library might have it online but our branch is not subscribed to online magazines via Zinio Magazines.
It appears you need to subscribe to http://writersmarket.com in order to get information about publishers.

Thanks, Kat. Your editing and publishing plans sound great.
