Born & Raised In The Publishing Cult- Part I

At the time this video was made, N was 17 years old and had just come through the other side of a traumatic ordeal that forced her to sacrifice her friendships, her relationship with her mother, and nearly her life.

In this video, a child born and raised in the organization of Jehovahs Witnesses tells her story of escape and the road to recovery and adjustment. While being pressured to make a stand to get baptized as an ordained minister of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, a lifetime commitment to peddle WT publications at every opportunity, she instead made a firm decision to stand against a insidious source of emotional and mental cruelty, of spiritual abuse. She courageously withstood tremendous conflict and the persecution of her young heart and mind by friends and family members to emerge liberated from the bonds of the cult of the publishing corporation, the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society.

What are some publishing companies for teens?

I am in the middle of writing a fiction book with adventure and I guess Sci-Fi too. I want to get some information about publishers, editors, etc. Mostly anything would be helpful. And from what I read, most publishers are not big fans of publishing books written by teens. So it would be nice if they were teen friendly publishers. Thanks for the help!

Purchase a copy of the 2010 Writer’s Market. You’ll find a comprehensive list of publishers there, including what types of books they prefer (e.g., sci-fi). Avoid mentioning your age in your query letter (there is no need to mention it). If it gets to the point where you are actually offered a contract, your parents (if you are a minor) will simply sign on your behalf.

Best of luck,
~Dr. B.~

Publishing with PDFCreator

Following the success of E-books : Here is a free opensource software that can create archives as well as electronic books in PDF. This software is called PDFCreator (not to mistake with PDF Creator in two words which is the shareware version). So once installed, I can create PDF files using the printer ‘PDFCreator’. The advantage of the printer that I can add different types of documents (alternating pages of photos and text pages for example).
