1) As...You have questions...I have answers (maybe)<br /><br />1) As long as you wrote the story, you're fine. There should be nothing else you need to do to claim exclusive rights. It's your work, you own it. <br /><br />2) You should get something in writing from your friend either relinquishing copyright of the cover to you or giving you unlimited rights to it (just in case). This of course assumes they created it and didn't swipe it from somewhere (ie they have the right to transfer it to you). Generally this is just to cover your butt in the future. <br /><br />Once again, otherwise you should be fine. <br /><br />3) if you have questions about self-publishing etc, I would recommend making an account at kindleboards.com and visiting the Writers Cafe. There are a ton of authors there at all levels of experience and many of them are very helpful. <br /><br />4) editing is a big debate amongst writers. Regardless, whether you pay for it or get your friends to help you, you should have a 3rd set of eyes checking out your work. <br /><br />For a first work, to keep costs down, I would recommend a proofreader for typos and multiple beta readers for story suggestions. That being said, if you have the cash a full out editor is always the best choice.Rick Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703091917685458099noreply@blogger.com
