I am also thinking of writing one. Will need guidance too. I think anukriti Ji may be of help, as she was editing somebody's book.

Try createspace.com, it is good.

Suggest you contact a publishing house with your manuscript and a separate synopsis of what is all about. Yes, a critical review is always good as any blemishes can be removed prior to publishing it. Only if you find that no one wants to take it on, for whatever reason, only then should you go in for a self-published book.

 

Wish you all the best and hope to read it soon

Hi Alka,

You can mail 2-3 chapters and synopsis of the story at "kunaliam@gmail.com". I might be of help connecting you to certain publishers depending on your story, genre, writing quality and the target readers.

Wish you all the success.

Be clear with the publishing house if the ownership of the content stays with you or with them. Also its best if you don't share the manuscript with everyone and make absolutely sure one can trust a person. Many work are stolen this way during this process.
