There are tons of writers out there. And there are many niches too; poets, novelists, children’s authors, etc.. Lots of people want to be published but don’t know how to even start such a literary process. But hold on! The publishing world has been opened up in a huge way via self-publishing (haven’t you heard, numb-skull?!). This means that both wannabe and legit writers can get their work published without the help of a traditional agent or publishing house. Perhaps you have a story that is just aching to get out. Well look no further! Smashwords, the king of eBooks, is here for you.
If you have the dream of getting your writing out there… well then, Smashwords is it. It’s not hard. Even a schmuck like me can use it (and I have and do). All it takes is a burning desire, patience, and some computer know-how… and then it’s off to the races:) Check out the official Smashwords presentation below for some dirty insight on how to create an eBook with them. I recommend them. They took my masterpiece and allowed me to create an account. They are fast, professional, and courteous. Their technology is simple, user-friendly, and the future of the literary world.
No longer must we send out query letters to New York literary agents who keep the keys to the masterful publishing houses tucked away for a select few. You and I, mere mortals of grammatical prose, can now bypass the entire, long-winded, life-sucking process of asking permission and take the world by storm with the Smashwords battering-ram. So kick in those walls of self-doubt; knock down those mirrors of gross reflection; let the sun shine upon your written work! Learn the way of Smashwords and be counted as one who will not bend to stodgy institutions! You are alive and you got something to share:) SMASHWORDS!!! BE THERE OR BE LEFT BEHIND!!!

I’m also involved in wastewater treatment, although the main part of my job is drinking water treatment.
Thanks, it’s nice to be recognized in any way possible.
So you’re in water treatment as well then? A great field to be in. I think we are the original “green movement”. Glad to know of fellow professionals in the industry who write as well.
I checked out the link to your book, Meddlers In Time – “You can’t change history, can you? No- but you can make a new reality, when you alter events. ‘Meddlers in Time’ explores the shaping of a parallel earth, by altering events in 9th century England. Some were lured by money, other by the adventure- a few just wanted a new chance at life. One thing remains constant- time travel changes all who follow that path…”
Time travel is always a great topic!
True, Dodge, true. This man has real insight, dear readers and writers. Now buy his eBook. Then take a gander at my eBooks and support some creative schmucks like Dodge and I. We would really appreciate it. And may your voracious appetite for literary goodness be satiated!
