You lot are not very encouraging hmfff 😀. I am meeting up with @lpff in a week or so, will question him about his then. Would a publisher allow my wording if a 'explicit language' was plastered on the front?
Maybe @ericvancewalton or @raj808 knows the answers. I have ordered a copy of Abandoned Sheffield, to see how it looks. I am getting a little ahead of myself.
I agree with @raj808's response above. Most writers have "imposter syndrome", me included sometimes (even after 30 years), you can definitely do this. The good news is it's never been easier to publish your first book. Just a few things, as Raj mentioned...steer clear of vanity presses. You can self publish but make sure you look into production costs. In my experience self published books with full color photos are very expensive to print but the industry is constantly changing so I'd look at all my options once you get a better idea of how many pages/photos you want to include. I never had much luck going the traditional publishing route so I can't offer much guidance there. Best of luck to you! There's a lot of satisfaction in publishing a book. You may want to think outside of the box and explore launching NFTs in conjunction with the book or QR codes that will send readers to each actual building or something like that to draw attention to the launch. I embedded the private key to a bitcoin wallet for my last book launch and it was fairly successful.
Thanks for the advice Eric.
You're welcome!
