I would like to start an online magazine subscription company. How do I go about speaking to mag publishers?


I have a unique marketing concept and I would like to start an online magazine company that allows people to order right online. I understand that there are many others out there but my unique concept is better than those. I would like some ideas about contacting the magazine publishers and setting the wheels in motion and getting my site up.

Any comments would be appreciated.

What publisher does not have a age restriction?


I have a book I want to publish when its done. I looked for some publishers and they either didn’t have any information about publishing in the age department or they had a age restriction for 18+. I am 13 and want to find a good publisher. Please help me. If you have any names of publishers who will let a kid like me publish a book, please tell me.

Is there any way to sell or give my Kindle ebooks to someone else with a Kindle?


I have a Kindle and I’d like to be able to transfer (sell or give) my Kindle ebooks to someone else. Is there any way to do this?

I don’t mean to make an illegal copy for someone, but to transfer my copy of the book to someone else when I’m done, so that they can read it on their Kindle.

Thanks.

How can I list and sell my books & ebooks I wrote online without getting my own merchant account or terminal?


I’m a self-publishing writer and wish to sell my own books myself online, I have a website but it’s not e-commerce ready, and I don’t wish to get a merchant account or internet terminal so I can accept credit cards from costomers, instead I wish to find a site where I can list my books at or even just refer books buyesr to it, and they take care of accepting money from byuers, deduct their commissions and deposit my share into my credit card. Is there such a thing?

I been to his home. He collects and shares lots of information. I was wanting to share it with others because I find his work and understanding of our government amazing. Should I pay close attention to this guy and his work?

The Truth will set you Free. Step from deception to a new reality, empower yourself !

I am Ted Elden, Architect ret., Importer, Photographer, Writer, former member of national architectural organizations, importer, national & international sales. In business, I’ve sold across the US, and to many foreign countries. I’ve written 1/2 million letters and mailed to millions. I’m good with language, thinking, logic & computers. I’m both scientific & intuitive.

Nationally Published & awarded Poet, Photographer,
Graduate Colorado Outward Bounds Survival School
Carnegie Mellon University, Blair Academy Prep School, I read 300 books as HS Senior year, I acquired 400 books in recent months.
I’m reader ! I’m a member of Charleston Rotary and the prestigious Anvil Club with 3 college presidents, professors, lawyers, doctors.

I’m easy to reach or visit any time, near Top O Rock, Verizon- Univ. of Charleston. Name, contact, web at bottom.
I’ve published much of my research at www.abodia.com and have tomes more at my studio.

I have found important things, that I’d not known in 50 years,
The news hides and confuses information.
Those with the best information, lead the best lives. Disraeli

You too can have a better life, if you get better information.

Much I’ve always feared, I faced.
I fortified myself with knowledge, then acted, I moved towards what I feared.
As I learned and acted, the fear and danger disappeared.

I’ve researched: 9-11, Income Tax, Suppressed Medical Discoveries,
I can give or show you excellent, clear, factual presentations by national professionals with witnesses, evidence, public records, court cases, Congressional Records. The information is startling to behold, but easy to verify.

You only need to consider things you have never seen. I work quickly with ideas, and am deeply skilled in verifying information. News is definitely not your best source of information. Local, contemporary news is usually more accurate than national edited news which was adapted for propaganda by the news owners to aid their interests. Large Global Corporations, like military industrial complex, & pharmaceuticals own and control news; TV, books & movies.

I speak publicly around the state to students and civic groups,
Our Truth Seekers, meets at Top O Rock monthly for 3+ years, first Sundays from 2-4 pm. Many stay late in the evening.
Some come from Huntington, Beckley & Wheeling.
Anyone may call me in advance to visit my library – 1000s of incredible documents, eBooks, movies.

I’m no one, I’m just a bridge to great people and knowledge that most will never see.

Most choose to do what is popular, accepted, profitable, personal – helping theirselves, their families, friends & associates.
Few have much regard for the community or the future.

In America, all is bought & sold, including information.
For a high price, important people and institutions have made persuasive presentations about incomplete information.

To win an argument or persuade someone, you list items that favor your perspective.
You ignore or hide information that favors a different conclusion.

We use to have 1,000s of owners of newspapers & TV, but FCC rules have changed.
9 corporations have bought up 95% of main stream media in America.
Sony, Disney, AOL/ Time Warner, Viacom, and others.
General Electric owns ABC/ NBC. They only repeat information that helps them.
They suppress or ignore information that would compromise their profit centers.
GE is major player in the military industrial complex.

The news teaches hate, war, conflict, to keep us subdued, yielding taxes and freedom to fight distant threats, which the elite create and exaggerate.

I thought government & legislators controlled our world. Wrong ! World wide 10,000 or so people, who own the banks, corporations, military industrial complex, pharmaceuticals, news, and the legislators, own the money, most corporations & assets and the main stream media. They are working together for their gain, our loss.
They create our world of information & perception, leading us to aid their increase in power and the lessening of our thought, freedom, wealth, health & safety. They are not working for our benefit.

To ignore this, hoping that our legislators, courts, President will help us is the great illusion. We have to think, realize what is on going and take positive action, writing letters, meeting & telling others, to Awaken a Sleeping (apathetic – hopeless) America.

What every you may have imagined or suspected, I can give or find for you hard evidence.

Publishing children’s books?


I have written several children’s books throughout the years. I never tried to publish them because of lack of self confidence. Well, I was laid off about three weeks ago and it seems like it’s now time to start. Plus, I have another dream I need to help fund. I have been up and down with the “Writers Market” and frankly it’s too much information. A complete concise book on all the steps would be great. From format, query letter, submission, to acceptance and contractual agreements. I am not interested in ebooks or self publishing ,as I can’t afford that. So what are my alternatives? Is there a publishing house that’s more likely to accept them or do you think selling them in magazines such as Highlights would be a good idea? I have a book called “Formatting your Manuscript” but it’s not very helpful for childrens writing. Thanks everyone.

Where can I find free photos to legally publish in my ebook?

I’m looking for a photo site (besides public-photo.net) that lets you use photos without permission in published books. Specifically ebooks.

how to transfer and read html and pdf ebooks on iPod touch?


Please give me step-by-step instructions, including what apps I’d need to download (preferably free ones) in order to transfer the ebooks on a macbook to an iPod touch and read them. If there’s a way to bookmark, please tell me. And don’t tell me to buy ebooks from websites. If I already own an ebook, I’d like to read it. Plus it would be nice to rely on an app without wifi.
