Ask the Librarian How to Publish Your Book

Q. I have been writing my entire life, and I have just finished a book.  Now I am looking for a publishing company that is interested in publishing my book or helping me out in anyway possible. 

A. Check your local public library--or bookstore, if you'd prefer to purchase--for the following publications, resources which would be able to give you reliable advice on how to get your book published and to which publishers to direct it:

The American Library Association (ALA) sponsored a contest a few years back, Put It in Writing @ your library™, in which a bibliography of writer resources was compiled. You can still view this annotated bibliography on the ALA web site, at:
