Now that you mention it, how's your project going? Did you already find a publisher?

>If it's just for a vanity publication, who cares anyway? That is one concept I really don't get. Well, I suppose I do, but to me if a writer can't find a real publisher, either start writing better or give up the idea. Don't pretend you've done something you haven't. There was an article in the newspaper today about an air guitar contest in Chicago this weekend. ISIANMTU. How pathetic!

>>OIC well I'd always be willing to do that. Someone I know well wrote a novel and had it "vanity published". He got his nephew (who edits a poetry magazine) to proof-read it, as the obvious choice. It annoyed me greatly when I discovered that he hadn't asked me and, when I read the novel, I discovered so many typos and errors that I was enraged. eg gypsies feature a lot in the story and some times they were referred to as "gypsies" and other times "gypsy's" (which is my single-most hated error); nobody in the story ever went to "the pub" - it was always "the local hostelry", a cliche that really irked me after a while. et al, et al.
