Your Messenger message:

"Goodevening Pai.Can i ask you about something? This is not about magic, Santeria or the paranormal things.

"Do you have an idea how much and how difficult will it take for someone if he wants to make/produce a book? A photobook, picture storytelling book or most they called a coffee table book?Thank you"

"*or what most"


My reply:

Hello ________!

Almost everyone has dreamed of publishing his own book without realizing that an entire staff is needed to make the project succeed:

--an editor
--a proofreader
--perhaps an illustrator
--a layout artist
--a book designer
--a marketing manager

The safest option is to write the manuscript and submit it to a publisher. The publisher will even determine whether you have the talent to be a writer or not. Sometimes what the publisher tells you will make you feel you are in heaven. Sometimes it will feel like a slap in the face.
