Ever Considered Publishing a Book at Some Point?

2 points

Yes. I want to write a book which explains how humanity can reach a type one civilization, and I want to write another which attempts to explain the entire universe (which isn't possible but I can try). I also want to write a giant series of novels and have them adapted into films or a TV series.

To be clear, in the modern era with Self-Publishing available, you certainly can produce books for public consumption on any given topic that one is capable of and potentially be quite successful. If you have not looked into self-publishing before, you may be interested to read into stories of such Authors who use Amazon as their gateway.

Yes I have, I want to write a book about a wagon train massacre in 1854 that I've been researching for years. No one will ever read it but I want to get the story into print.

Best of luck. If you do publish your work and we are still both around the forum, feel free to make a Thread advertising the book as I for one would be interested in reading it.

Now, when you say 'print', are you including e-book publication or are you referring strictly to paperback/hardback?

What I'd like to do is find a writer/historian to help me do more research and verify what I already believe to be true and then write the book with or without my help. I'm no writer but what I do have is information. I don't care who writes it, I just want the story to be told. If western movies were in fashion it would make a great one but I'm not expecting that to ever happen. This was the Ward massacre of 1854 which was a particularly brutal massacre, maybe the worst of the entire Oregon trail era. The Oregon trail was shut down for at least two years and the army's retribution for the massacre kicked off several Northwest Indian wars.

That sounds like it could be an interesting read. If you do publish it before leaving this forum you should advertise it. :D

I've already done it. My first published essay came out through the University Press last year.

Which of of your 31 names did you sign it in ?

Your claim is highly dubious as you cannot type a chapter without resorting to lying also you have the “ intelligence “ of a pot plant which makes your claim even more fantastical

I only have one name, you infant.

I literally couldn't give a shit what you think because you're an angry little moron with no talent at anything except making yourself look like an angry little moron.

without resorting to lying

The only liar here is you. Fuck off, retard.

I've tried writing a Young Adult novel a couple of times, but I usually quit after 3-4 pages. I just can't seem to find any creative ideas. Almost every one of my ideas just turns out to be a ripoff of something else.

But I'll hopefully find a good concept eventually. :-D

I would like to publish a book about The New Mesiah. We are on the threshold of an”post human “ transformation. The problem is not technology- it’s the old dusty Abrahamic books that we can’t let go of. Everyone is terrified of a new doctrine! I agree that a society needs a doctrine- It it must evolve as the world evolves.

Go for it--in the modern world of self-publishing, e-publishing, ect., if one has something to say, the avenues to express these thoughts in detail are available. If you are not already aware, I would suggest looking into e-publishing with Amazon if you do decide to write your book.

Yes. I want to write an autobiography..................................................................................................................................................

I would like to write a book about females completely ruling the world. The only males are races other than white. Except for a man who teleported to the future. This man is white.

Sounds interesting. If you like your idea, and feel you're a competent writer, then go for it!

Decades ago I actually put together a collection of poems with illustrations and shopped it around. But it just wasn't what publishers were looking for. They did recommend publishing some individually in journals or such but I never did.

And no, I'm not going to share them with the trolls on Create Debate. This isn't the type of site for that type of communications. Dirty limericks maybe, but not any of what I'd written back then.

Sorry, but the only time poetry and porn every paired up was in the earliest days of Limericks. Unless you consider the Dead Poet Society, which I think was a secret club of necromancer swingers.

Great--have you looked into self-publishing or e-publishing services at all?
