she needs advice or counsel of what to do when it comes to publishing her book, she is new to the game and she doesn't want to make any mistakes. Do you have any advice of where she my get counsel from or what necessary steps to take as she embarks on being a writer?My best friend wants to be a writer. She has sent her work into publishing companies,but she needs advice.?
If she is asking for advice AFTER sending out her work to publishing companies that hasn't she already embarked on her journey to being a writing, and as such wouldn't that also indicate that she could have possibly already made mistakes.
--- If she has specific questions then you should post them on her behalf because at this point it all seems rather null and void. Now if she wishes to ask if the procedures she has taken are 'typical' then perhaps she needs to list those and find out if they are standard.My best friend wants to be a writer. She has sent her work into publishing companies,but she needs advice.?
Te'Neicha, she's already made a serious blunder, perhaps.
If she's sent novel-length work to potential publishers or agents, she's probably put herself on their ';unprofessionals'; list--and my understanding is that yes, some really do keep such a list.
There are two ways to go to publish a book. One is to pay for it, with no expectation of selling it to anybody who’s not a friend or family, no matter how good it is or how much you work and/or spend to market it.
The one I recommend is the one that gets your book into chains like Barnes %26amp; Noble, Chapters, and Borders, and independent book stores, too. This requires a “real” publisher who pays you for the right to print your book, and who then markets it, including placing it in stores.
The big “name” publishers usually accept book manuscripts only from literary agents, using them to screen out manuscripts that aren’t likely to sell as books for whatever reason.
To get a literary agent, identify agents who have recently sold other novels like yours. This takes time and trips to a big bookstore, usually. Jot down the names of the authors in your genre whose books are currently on bookstore shelves. Look inside for thanks and dedications, where agents may be named. At home, do a search of each author's name, in quotation marks, and the word agent and learn who represents whom. Visit QueryTracker.com, GuidetoLiteraryAgents.com, and similar sites to identify agents seeking work like yours.
Research each agent. Find websites with career history, sales, personal bio, AAR membership, etc. Determine whether they prefer email or regular mail for queries. Figure out who’s a good fit for you. Don’t be afraid to aim high. The worst that can happen is they say no.
Write a one-page query letter, tailoring it to individual agents as it’s possible with the information you got from research, and send it to the few agents you'd most like to represent you. If the query letter is really good and you've done your homework well, at least some will ask for a partial or full manuscript. If none does, rewrite the query before sending out the next batch.
If she's trying to sell short stories, she needs to look up each magazine's submission guidelines and follow them exactly.

Some reasurring advice would be nice?
I have recently been suffering from anxeity, however my problems come in when i am not feeling anxoius i still constantly obsess about it all day everyday. anyone know anything that may help me. cheers SamSome reasurring advice would be nice?
Keep busy, exercise as this is proven to help with anxiety. Dont allow yourself time to sit and ponder!
If all else fails go and see your GP, they may be able to help you break the cycle by putting you on medication for a short while!
I have anxiety - I am able to control it to the extent that it barely effects me now! Best of luck!Some reasurring advice would be nice?
I understand your wish to conquer this without drugs and it is possible. You fear the fear which is very common! What you need is a short course (6 - 10 weeks) of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This will help you cope with the disordered thinking and to develop newer, more healthy ways of thinking. If you can afford private treatment just ask your doctor for a list of practitioners (they will be genuine and not Mickey Mouse practitioners!). If you acnnot afford private treatment you can get the treatment on the NHS but there is usually a long waiting list. Some Mental health charities will do subsidized cost treatments.
you might need to try some anti-anxiety medication for a while. also some therapy and believe it or not (i have been there) but repeating a mantra to yourself helps. i used ';worrying doesn't change anything'; it helped me get through stuff. as far as feeling anxious with no good reason in my experience that usually means you need to go see a professional and talk and they can help you determine what would be best for you. hang in there it will get better.
hypnosis is very effective for treating anxiety
Have a look on the website below for further details
Good luck
i had excellent results with Paxil.
If it is debilitating - as it sounds to be - you should consider drug therapy - the benefits far outway the side-effects. My problem was heights and I needed to work 50 feet up sometimes for my great paying job....couldn't quit over such a stupid thing so I took meds - Paxil. THE NEXT DAY I was up 50 feet working ALL DAY with NO PROBLEMS!!!! Huge difference. Without it, I was crippled, I HAD TO GET DOWN - my heart raced...I couldn't concentrate on anything, my hands shook, I froze and was constantly wiping my face or moving like a stuck robot!
Paxil may not work in one day for everyone, but it seems great for anxiety.
Hey Sam
Anxiety is usually all in the mind. I would try to get into an activity that will boost your inner self confidence and make you hakunamatata or however you spell that. Find yourself an ipod or mp3 player and go jogging once a day, first a half mile, then one mile then a mile and a half. Accomplish things in your life and be proud. Pride and self confidence stops degeneration and anxiety can in some people come from restless feelings.
There are so many methods to this madness but we all have to find out which method works for us. I think self imaging can help. Find a sport that you are good at and make it happen. Play video games with friends.. heck if you have any PC games to play online let me know, do some fun things. Usually people who have serious problems have idle time to think and the mind is what controls the body.

Can someone read my essay and please give me advice on how it can be better?
thank you so much here it is:
Political, economic, and social conditions have often led to turning points that have changed the course of history for nations and peoples. Example, The French Revolution. It was the age of reason/enlightenment. The causes of the French Revolution are concerned with the class differences that were existent in France. France gained a lot of their power, influence, and wealth. In France these people were put into categories. First and second estates consist of the rich nobility and the clergy. Over 95% of the population was the third estate which included bourgeoisie (middle class) and the poverty-stricken lower class.
Conflicts began between the third estates when they demanded an equal say in government. Some of the political, economic and social causes of revolution that occurred in France which are that Louis XVI were a weak ruler and his wife was unpopular. American Revolution inspired political ideas. Wars and royal extravagance created debt, inflation and famine caused problems such as peasants making little money but paid high taxes. That in my opinion is injustice. The Revolution and ensuing wars with Europe devastated France鈥檚 economy. The French feudal system eventually was abolished.
I can relate the French to Latin America because the French Revolution inspired political ideas. Royal officials committed injustices and repression. Napoleon鈥檚 conquest of Spain triggered revolt. Peninsulares and creoles controlled wealth and lower classes toiled as peasants with little income or as slaves. Only peninsulares and creoles had power just like in the French Revolution, only the rich nobility and the clergy had control and the peasants were being treated unfairly. The Mestizos, mulattos, Africans, and Indians had little status in Latin America. In Latin America there was a great deal of racism.
Educated Creoles spread enlightenment ideas. Nearly all colonial rules in Latin America ended, new countries were established and representation government was slow to develop. The military or the wealthy controlled much of the region until the late 1900鈥檚. Many places kept the plantation system and much of Latin America continued to have a strong class system as well. The American republic, because of the enlightenment ideas, became a symbol of freedom in Europe and Latin America. The United States constitution became a model for liberal government. The American Revolution鈥檚 success inspired others to revolt against their governments.
In conclusion The French Revolution and Latin America have changed our nations and peoples but there are still a few things that are still with us such as, racism. It is still all around us but it isn鈥檛 as bad as it was before. There are positive things to say about the revolutions though. Lower class people aren鈥檛 being treated unfairly like back then and enlightenment ideas have helped this world a lot. People are afraid of change sometimes but change has given us more opportunities even if some were negative there were still some that were positive that has helped us a lot.Can someone read my essay and please give me advice on how it can be better?
very good!
you had a great topic sentence and detailed facts and examples that support it so nicely.
try not to use such traditional transition words, that is really my only advice.
If you must use a traditional transition word make sure that it is not at the start of the sentence.

I'd work till wee hrs of the morning....also, a friend of mine had used too many different hair products, conditioners and styling gels, lotions...etc. and she started to develop bald patches.
Whenever your hair is too long, the excess weight after adding conditioner (especially oils), can cause greater hair fall.
U should try olive oil it will help keep your hair from breaking. Also dont put a lot of heat on your hair it will only make the breakage worse. Also get a good conditioner.

I am looking to purchase a new car. I will be a first time buyer. Any suggestions or advice?
Love your avatar, the choice of car you choose is ultimately yours. You can read up on the model or models of car or cars you are interested in. You can go from dealership to dealership and just look at what they have offer, reading the critique sheet on the windows of each model. You can read what others say about that particular model you have chosen in magazines like, car and driver. I'd say they try to be non biased in their evaulations. Or, you can just take one out for a test drive and see if you like it. there are hundreds of possiblities the choice is yours. In the car magazines, look for fuel mileage comparisons, look for road worthiness, dependability, comfort, accessories, maintenance reports and upkeep costs, and then most of all look at the insurance costs for that particular vehicle. You can ask your insurance agent for price quotes or ask the little green gecko, ha-ha just kidding, no you really can get an insurance quote if you just look around. Good luck to you, hope you like your car.I am looking to purchase a new car. I will be a first time buyer. Any suggestions or advice?
Buy a 2000 trans am, they kick so much @$$!!!!I am looking to purchase a new car. I will be a first time buyer. Any suggestions or advice?
Research the type of car you are interested in and check the asking price of several dealers. Shop around. Stay away from high pressure salesmen. Check out the dealership with the Better Business Bureau before you buy to see if there are any problems and/or how they dealt with them. Best advice, take someone with you.
Look for a good used car with low mileage, Please take your dad or Boyfriend with you because most salespeople not all of them take advantage of young ladies because they don't know really what you are looking for.If you want a Toyota go to a toyota dealership or Ford go to ford dealership it is very important.
Buy a car that serves YOUR purpose. Only get the power you need and make sure you are comfortable in it. See what insurance costs are for your choices. Radios are nice but expensive systems are just a lot to maintain when you have to service them. Get a car with a good warranty--3 years at least--and then stick to the maintenance plans. Do not buy extended warranties--they are a rip-off. Just buy the car --and get payments you know you can afford if you finance it. Never more than 3 years. In 4 years you're going to owe more than it is worth. DO NOT LEASE__save up for a down payment...and own it. Your lease means you paid and have nothing to show for it at the end. Good luck and take care of your new car. It is an adult, mature job to own and drive a car
Look for a volkswagon jetta. They last for ever!! like 200k miles with few problems! Am a mechanic an i have 1.Plus there great on gas.
Do good research of what the invoice price of your car is? Also, don't show any kind of desperateness to buy the car. Be ready to walk away if u don't get what u r asking for.
get a good cosigner and some one with experience to help you get your first car
all i have to say is that just because it looks cute doesnt mean u should buy it
Best advice = don't buy a new car. You can get the same model with low miles and 1 or 2 years of age for much less. A car typically depreciates 5% the day you drive it off of the lot after signing the papers for it. Most cars retain only 10-30% of their new value with in 7-8 years.
As for purchasing tips:
-get financing offers from serveral sources. Start with your bank, see how much they will loan and at what rate. Don't assume the dealer has the best finance option.
-negotiate but be respectful and reasonable.
-never think ';I will never find another car like this'; if you want a car and for whatever reason you are having trouble making a deal
-take your time. Look at several cars and pick out the one that you like best and get a good deal on.
Check out the website source below. It's a little dated, but still pretty good. If you must buy new, remember the rebate is paid by the manufacturer, not the dealer. Negotiate the price of the car with this in mind. Don't let the dealer have you believe that he/she is giving you a rebate. It's not their money. Go further.
If you do indeed finance with the dealer, remember that the interest rate normally has a dealer reserve already added unless you are buying a car with special advertised interest rates (0% for xx months). If it's from a company other than the dealer (HSBC, Wells Fargo, CitiAuto, etc), the finance manager has the option to make points. For example, if you are offered 12.99% interest rate, it's normally a ';buy'; rate of 10.99 plus 2.00% reserve. Always push for 1-2 pts below the rate they quote you. Good luck.
Take your dad or another older man with you. The fact is that a salesman will see you and think ';Oh, a young female! She won't have a clue what she's doing and I can make a fat comission off of her!';. Trust me, on this! I bought my first new car when I was 20 and the salesman (my then-boyfriend's step-father) really took advantage of me.
They will do everything possible to sell you the car right away. Don't be shy to sleep on what ever deal you are offered.Once you accept delivery its hard to go back (impossible). Do your research on line go to Edmund's.com and learn about the cars you are interested in. Throw out the dealer mark up. Things are slow in the car sales biz. You should be able to buy most cars for 200-500 over what the dealer bought it for.Your in charge make your first experience a good one. Don't be impulsive. Be practical don't buy more than you can afford check what it costs to insure the car as well as maintain the car.Tires alone can hurt your wallet bad.
Check publications at a library or bookstore, or on the Internet, that discuss new car features and prices. These may provide information on the dealers costs for specific models and options.
Shop around to get the best possible price by comparing models and prices in ads and at dealer showrooms. You also may want to contact car-buying services and broker-buying services to make comparisons.
Plan to negotiate on price. Dealers may be willing to bargain on their profit margin, often between 10 and 20 percent. Usually, this is the difference between the manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) and the invoice price.
Because the price is a factor in the dealers calculations regardless of whether you pay cash or finance your car and also affects your monthly payments negotiating the price can save you money.
Consider ordering your new car if you don't see what you want on the dealers lot. This may involve a delay, but cars on the lot may have options you don't want and that can raise the price.
However, dealers often want to sell their current inventory quickly, so you may be able to negotiate a good deal if an in-stock car meets your needs.

I will be a freshman in college next year and i am planning on buying a laptop but i need advice.?
How much memory do i need? (i also download lots of music)
I want a dell...but which one is best?
What programs do i need for my college classes?I will be a freshman in college next year and i am planning on buying a laptop but i need advice.?
Which Operating System do you wish to have? Windows XP or Windows Vista? Since the majority of PCs now come with Windows Vista preinstalled, you have very little chances of finding a laptop running Windows XP. Although, Microsoft has just extended the deadline of Windows XP to 2010 which means your chances are slightly higher. But keep note, Microsoft only extended the deadline for the sake of the low-price PCs and to exclude Linux out of the competition.
Enough with that, let's now look at the specs of your preferred laptop. In college, it is recommended that you have a laptop with Windows XP because most of the software used in your preferred college could run on Windows XP - Windows Vista lacks support.
You should look for a laptop with an Intel Pentium M processor or better. I'd prefer the Core2 Duo Centrino if you're into multi-tasking plus it comes very handy when you're runnng more than 2 applications. The minimum memory you should have is 512MB or more but if you have Windows XP, it's better that you have 1GB if you're running heavy programs such as MatLab, AutoCAD, Physics Simulator, etc.
Asides from the 2 important features (processor and RAM) I've mentioned above, I suggest that you purchase a laptop with a ';Vista Capable'; sticker which states that the laptop is high end and comes with the latest hardware. Although, it doesn't necessarily mean that your purchase a laptop with Windows Vista preinstalled at least if you want to because like I said, a lot of people have experienced problems with Vista and decided to stick to Windows XP.
You said you wanted to get a Dell laptop? Dell laptops are good but it depends on your taste; there are models for all-around gaming; models for office or student use; and even models for both. In my opinion Dell laptops are the best choice because the brand is preferred by many colleges in the US and abroad - it is the most preferred brand for educational computing.
About your programs to use in class, I don't think I can help you there. It depends entirely what course you're going to take. But for the good part, you could at least borrow the software and install it on your laptop. Just wait for your orientation on your first day in college and try to soak in the information pertaining to what you need and what is important. At the most, the school should be able to provide you with software to install but you should first seek permission.
That's just about it... Get a Dell laptop with a Core2 Duo Centrino processor and at least 1GB RAM. With these configurations, you should be able to download a lot of music and run multiple applications without lag or data loss. The preferred OS should be Windows XP Professional (Home Edition would do) but if you'd like to give Windows Vista a go then why not?I will be a freshman in college next year and i am planning on buying a laptop but i need advice.?
If your just using it for school

Get youself a laptip with 2gb ram and at least 160gb hard drive. You can download free software like Open Office to take care of all the programs you will need for college. Dont pay of Microsoft anything. Also make sure you have a DVD R/W / CD R/W.

Go to http://www.dell.com for all the available options and speciafications for laptops. My partner and I have been using Dell for several years and are very pleased with their computers. I have a desktop. My partner has a laptop. You can order a laptop from Dell online, but I suggest that you work out your order by calling Dell's 800 number and speaking with a real live person. This could save misundertandings and the Dell rep can answer just about all the questions you might have.
You'll need the usual stuff so you can access the Internet and you'll need a word processing program. I suggest either WordPerfect or MSWord. Both are very reliable.
I do not recommend Dell because I have had 5 years of bad experience with their computers.
HP laptops are pretty good. For memory, I recommend a 1GB-2 GB, and for Hard Drive, since you listen to A LOT of music, and will probably need programs for your classes (you didn't list them, so I don't know what programs you'll need for your college classes except Microsoft Office), then I recommend at LEAST a 200 GB HD.
I just bought an HP computer, and it runs very well. It was only 1300, and is has 2.5 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM, and has Windows Vista Ultimate. Make sure to get the normal version, not 64/32 bit for Vista though.
I also recommend Apple. I have an Apple Macbook, and it's pretty good. It's lightweight, easy to use, and it also has a long battery life. However, I recommend getting the Black edition (1499) because it has a large HD, large RAM, and is fast, 2.4 Ghz.
DO NOT GET THE APPLE MACBOOK AIR. If you do, then you'll also have to buy a USB optical drive since the macbook air does not have an optical drive.
The macbook pros are good, but I don't think you need it, unless you do some programming, videos, multimedia, etc.
Lenovo is also good, but is too pricy.
My top two picks are Apple and HP
I want a dell...but which one is best?
What programs do i need for my college classes?I will be a freshman in college next year and i am planning on buying a laptop but i need advice.?
Which Operating System do you wish to have? Windows XP or Windows Vista? Since the majority of PCs now come with Windows Vista preinstalled, you have very little chances of finding a laptop running Windows XP. Although, Microsoft has just extended the deadline of Windows XP to 2010 which means your chances are slightly higher. But keep note, Microsoft only extended the deadline for the sake of the low-price PCs and to exclude Linux out of the competition.
Enough with that, let's now look at the specs of your preferred laptop. In college, it is recommended that you have a laptop with Windows XP because most of the software used in your preferred college could run on Windows XP - Windows Vista lacks support.
