LostDutchman Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I know we have quite a few published authors among our members. (This is not a coin related work but I think it is a story that needs to be told). I was wondering if any of you could give me some advice on where to get started with publishing a work. I met a veteran of the 8th airforce in WWII a while back. He kept a very very detailed diary of the events of his 37 missions over Europe in a B-17. He came to me today and gave me a transcript of one of his diary entries. It was very detailed and very well written. He is intrested in publishing the contents of his diary before he passes on. I told him I would try my hardest to see what this would involve. I was wondering where to start? What kind of things are involved in getting something like this published? From the 20 or so pages I read today about 1 mission I have a feeling that this would make a very intresting and unique firsthand account of the everyday life of a bomber pilot. Thanks in advance guys! I am very anxious to get the ball rolling on this project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'm not a proffesional writer and since this is not coin related I can only speculate. It sounds like this would be more of a book in memoir form. Since your friend has no background in publishing maybe a good literary agent would be appropriate. I'm just not sure how you'd tell the good from bad. But maybe Michael will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
