I also made video advertisements for it too:

I really hope this will be made into a movie, but it's been up for 3 weeks and NO ONE has bought a copy, do you have any suggestions on how to better sell it?
I can't do it at work anymore. Also I may have put this in the wrong forum, sorry.

How do you publish books?

People seem to be commenting on the paperback website, so far so good. Try social networking or something? That is my only suggestion

Self-publishing, unless you're a professional writer. Some pros have started out self-publishing but most authors attract the attention of a publisher somehow. Oh, and there's the option of actually learning book-binding yourself; but that's more of an arts-and-crafts thing, I guess.

With the availability of the internet, though, a lot of that is changing. People who aren't being paid to write books can "publish" their books online for very little, or nothing at all. You get an audience, you get feedback; you talk to other writers and give each other constructive criticism...

I've never written a book and I don't think I ever will. I've been offered the chance; but I had to choose between that and school; and school is more important. I like to write shorter things on my blog, and people read that. I think if people paid me to write, I'd be worried about writing the "right" thing. As it is, I can just express myself.

I hope that you make lots of money in sales.

Thanks everyone, I can't advertise at work anymore. I have made several Facebook posts about it and I even went as far as buying Facebook ads. I put in a lifetime bid of $50. It's supposed to target over 3 million people, but so far only 429 people have seen it and there was ZERO clicks.

I started writing another book and it's over 36,000 words so far. I'm thinking of calling it Wheelchair Tom. It's about a teen named Tom Cashlin who becomes a paraplegic after he slips on jetties.
