Here is the true mark of an author; publication! So I've compiled as many resources and links for you to find the market to get your published to the masses. There are a number of ways to publish your work:

Standard publication includes finding an agent or publishing company to print your manuscript. This often includes knowing where your copyrights are, a contract, and they help with the marketing.

Self-publishing includes many companies that will print your book for you. This does not include marketing. Costs range from thousands of dollars or nothing depending on the company and how the book(s) are printed. I've included a number of different ones that I've reviews on that have good reputations. I would suggest trying to get published the traditional route first.

E-publishing includes ebooks in PDF or HTML formats, whether you do this yourself or through an e-publishing company.
