Hi Laurie,
I wrote a book that is self-published (it's in my signature). I found a wonderful company that created a cover for me, formatted the book, created an index, and sent me a prototype. Then I uploaded to Amazon and Ingram. If you (or anyone else reading this discussion) email me directly, I can give you more information about this. If your friend doesn't want to self-publish, though, she needs to find a literary agent to send the manuscript to a publisher. I also have information about that. There are lots of books about self-publishing, so she might want to get one to see what that entails. I certainly understand about wanting to leave a legacy. As I mentioned, just email me and I would be glad to help.

Subject: Writing a book
Hello all
My mentor, who has over 50 years worth of experience, knowledge and passion is writing a book. Her hope is to leave a lasting legacy. Now that her words and ideas are on paper- i'd Like to offer help in getting it published. Can anyone offer guidance on next steps- how to get it edited, published,accessible to others?? Thanks so much.
