If I’m reviewing wineries, can I get some of them as advertisers? If I’m reviewing books, can I get authors to participate and publishers to advertise or sponsor? If I’m doing photographs, is it conceivable that someone would want to pay me to go take photos of something for them? In other words, how does one establish commercial value if it exists?
I am currently proofreading a book for an author and he is pondering the thought of having a couple people read his work to gain opinions prior to sending his work to a publisher. One of his concerns is how to protect his work from being shared or copied prior to copyright or Digital Rights Management. Should he send a letter of confidentiality or what do you recomend?
I have written a book and I want to self-publish, but I am not sure how to choose a self-publishing company. Which self-publishing company is best and what’s the difference between them anyway?

I want to get into blogging, but I hear from my friends that it’s really hard because after a few weeks you start to suffer from writer’s block. I generally like to know what I’m getting into before I dive in, so do I need to be worried? How do you avoid writer’s block as an author or blogger?
I’ve been searching for some help on this a for about four, five years. I’m 16 years old and I’ve been writing novels since I was about eleven. Everyone thinks that i could be the next J.K. Rowling. I even have a pen name L.G. Kelly. I Just don’t know how to get published. So how do i get publsihed and fast without getting ripped off? Or having to get an agent?
I’m writing an instructional book (almost done) and I would like it to be “for dummies”. My question is about using the “for dummies” thing in my book title (and also this geek on every “for dummies book…) Can I just do it or do I need to ask permission from someone or pay someone? I understand that you went through this process and I would like to hear what you have to say about it. I really appreciate your response.
