I live in Tolland, MA and write contemporary young adult fiction, so I don't know how much I can help. I assume you are writing memoir or non-fiction. I'm not familiar with the companies you mentioned, but I'm planning to self-publish through Amazon.com, B&N pub-it, and Smashwords. I'm using Create Space for my print on demand books. If you are considering indie-publishing, that is the way to go. The formatting for each venue is a little different, but fairly user-friendly and by uploading to each distribution channel seperately, you can avoid watering down your profits or dealing with middlemen so to speak. I've spoken with real humans at Createspace and they were somewhat helpful when i had technical difficulties with my cover art. A great web site is Writer's Guide to e-publishing. DD Scott is a wealth of information regarding the ins and outs of self-publishing. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me off loop if you have more questions. pjsharon64@gmail.com Hi Nora, I just found this site and saw your post.

Maybe I need to be more specific in my request. I am trying to make final decision about who I will submit my manuscript. I am leaning toward Troy Book Makers but i-Universe (digital book printing) is also in contact with me. Has anyone ever dealt with the former company? I like TBC because I can make contact with real people. The other does not have New England office. (Indiana). Please let me hear from someone with any comments you may have.

The Festival features author readings, panel discussions, children's events, a gallery exhibition and more book-related events. One day of the weekend is dedicated to local authors, and I would love to hear from anyone in Columbia County or the Berkshires who has a new(ish) book they would like to present. Also, if there is sufficient interest in a writers group, the Academy would be happy to host. Hope to hear from some of you wonderful women writers.

Sorry for the late response - I was at my family, to welcome my little nephew. I'm the one who's looking for a room! Plan is to take some time off early 2011 (March / April) for at least 3 to 4 weeks to be in the States. I'm not allergic to cats & dogs (in fact I grew up with both) but to guinea pigs. I'm quiet, don't need that much space, can chat about books and movies ... I'm 34 years old, turn 35 next March. email address is sk24376@aol.com THANKS AGAIN!! Hi everybody!
