I wrote a book....autobiography...back in 2000 after I was a crisis counselor at Columbine High on 4/20/99. I also had other losses in my life, including alcohol addiction and domestic violence. I had alot to share.
It was very therapeutic and it ALMOST got published. I gave a few out to my friends and they loved it.
I gave that dream up back then. Since then, I've grown as a person and have been told by friends to try to do it again.
So, I'm reading up on how to write an autobiography the correct way and contacted a publishing agent. I'm SO novice at this that people have told me that publishing agents just "suck $ out of you".
This is just something I'm taking a shot at while looking for another job.
Does anybody have any suggestions on who to contact to even find out what kind of format (double spaced lines....name on top of each page....etc) to send it to publishing companies?
I've always wanted to do this...have always felt that I've had something to share with others and even if it's a small paperback...that's great for me.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! :)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
