I want to become an author writing children’s stories. How do I go about becoming an author and publishing my 1st book?
Do I have to fork out my own money to publish my book in small quantity? How to go about doing it?
Forking out money for your own book is called Self Publishing. You have to find a printer that actually prints bound books in your area. Then, as you said, you pay to print all of the books yourself and then you solicit bookstores in your area to buy them from you. It can be a huge money pit if you do not have the right kind of book for your area and if your marketing is not done properly. Unless you are making a chap book for friends or a family memoir that only requires a few copies, Self Publishing is a huge investment and highly risky.
To get a publishing company to do all of the work for you, you have to write a book proposal, then submit it to a literary agent.
Depending on whether or not the book is fiction or nonfiction, there are different steps and requirements for the book proposal.
www.writersonlineworkshops.com has classes on
"Writing the Novel Proposal"
"Writing the Non Fiction Book Proposal"
"Focus on Writing Fiction for Children"
"Focus on Writing Nonfiction for Children"
Here is a link to their class descriptions: http://www.writersonlineworkshops.com/retail/faculty.aspx?r=workshops
The magazine, Writers Digest, has a plethora of literary agents to contact, articles about submitting prose, poetry, and nonfiction.
I have taken several classes on Writers Online Workshops, which is run by the Writers Digest magazine. The classes are excellent and all of the instructors are published authors.
You can also search the yellow pages for a Book Consultant in your area. But they usually offer legal advice and it is not free. You will end up having to go to a literary agent anyway.
P.S. There are several books on the market about writing book proposals, but beware. Some of them geared toward nonfiction books. Others were written for fiction proposals. And their titles do not always indicate which they are for. If you are short on cash for the workshops, purchase the textbooks for these classes, write your book proposal, and submit it to a literary agent found in the back of Writers Digest magazine or to a literary agent in your home town.

Charles Darwin’s masterpiece, “On the Origin of Species”, shook society to its core on publication in 1859. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke but he would surely have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later. Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. In “The Greatest Show on Earth”, Richard Dawkins takes on creationists, including followers of ‘Intelligent Design’ and all those who question the fact of evolution through natural selection. Like a detective arriving on the scene of a crime, he sifts through fascinating layers of scientific facts and disciplines to build a cast-iron case: from the living examples of natural selection in birds and insects; the ‘time clocks’ of trees and radioactive dating that calibrate a timescale for evolution; the fossil record and the traces of our earliest ancestors; to confirmation from molecular biology and genetics. All of this, and much more, bears witness to the truth of evolution. “The Greatest Show on Earth” comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is now flourishing as never before, especially in America. In Britain and elsewhere in the world, teachers witness insidious attempts to undermine the status of science in their classrooms. Richard Dawkins provides unequivocal evidence that boldly and comprehensively rebuts such nonsense. At the same time he shares with us his palpable love of the natural world and the essential role that science plays in its interpretation. Written with elegance, wit and passion, it is hard-hitting, absorbing and totally convincing.
