Any suggestions on a good place to get my blog published into a book?

Anyone know of a place that does really quality work? I'd like to get my blog put into book form.


I'm afraid that the likelyhood of a blog, unless insanely popular, being published by a (traditional) professional publishing house or taken up by a literary agent is unlikely. The very fact that the blog has been publicly available (i.e. posted on the net for anyone to read) can turn possible publishers/agents away from it.

There is always lulu.com which is a popular vehicle for people who wish to self-publish. Other than that you're best bet is to get a copy of Writer's Market and look for a publisher/agent that deals with the right kind of material.

Good luck!

PS: To not submit to PublishAmerica, they are one of the most notorious vanity press publishers out there and don't reat their writers well. Just check out what Preditors and Editors has to say about http://anotherealm.com/prededitors/pebp.htm , scroll down on that page you can't miss it.

I published an anthology through PublishAmerica. They are the only POD {POD means they print just a few books and when orders come in they print more} in the world that never charges for publication. They require a minimum of 8500 words and accept about 30% of submisions.

PA has been the target of a vicious disinformation campaign online because they threaten the status quo not to mention greedy competitors.
