will ship overseas. You can go to their website from ours. If
it is the Love and Pride store, their customer service link
is at the bottom of the page.

the courage to continue my process, no matter how slow, of 'coming
out'. I feel as though I belong...even though I am so far away,
in Australia. Thank you.You're all wonderful!"

together for over 25 years. NO place on website for search engine"
Our
Response: Thanks for emailing us, and sorry we didn't
have the exact Ecard you were looking for. We will have to see
if our artists will design some for anniversaries. We do have
a lot of Ecards that might be appropriate for that, like rose
and flower designs. We also just installed new women's music
on our Ecards this morning. It is still a bit tinny, but it's
the best we could find. We have the Google Search on many of
our website pages, including our home page. It's near the bottom.
You can click on Search amazingdreamspublishing.com and put

Ecards! The music is still a bit tinny, it's hard to find decent
midi files, but at least we've got some music from Melissa Etheridge,
KD Lang, Patsy Cline, Heart, Madonna, Olivia Newton John, Stevie
Nicks, and a few others. The new music is available on all of
our over 1,000 Ecards, which were designed by amazing artists,
and you can find samples of them here: www.amazingdreamspublishing.com/ecards.html

"I am new to your site and can't wait to get into it

book out.
Just off the press is a new photography book called "A Walk
Through Diversity" Fine Art Portraits. It has over 70 photographs
along with quotes from the people photographed and other pertinent
quotes. The book sells for $29.95. You can order it from me, or
from my website. A presentation called Life in Oz is also available
for a fee of $300 + travel expenses. It has been received VERY
well. It lasts about 40 minutes and I have ending comments and
a question and answer time. The presentation is a combination
of information about the gay community as well as about my photographs.
Message: "YOUR SITE IS A GREAT ONE I MUST SAY, BUT WHY
DON'T YOU HAVE HOLIDAYS ECARDS ??? I LOVE YOUR GAY AND LESBIAN
ECARDS--THANK YOU"
Our
Response: Thanks for taking the time to email
us. We have over 1,000 free Ecards, and we do have some holiday
Ecards available:
www.amazingdreamspublishing.com/free-valentines-ecards.html
www.amazingdreamspublishing.com/mothers-day-ecards.html
http://www.amazingdreamspublishing.com/halloween-ecards.html
Valentine's, Mother's Day, and Halloween are the only ones
we've been able to get our artists to contribute designs for.
We also work hard at doing inclusive designs for everyone.
If we started doing Ecards for say, the holidays in December,
then we get into the situation of having to design Ecards
for everyone who celebrates these holidays in different ways:
like Festivus, Soltice, Christmas, Quanza, and Haunakha. If
you happen to know of an artist who would like to contribute
designs for all these holidays, we'd sure appreciate her contact
information. We'd love to have more Ecards that would serve
everyone's needs : )
Message:
"Hi there I would like to thank you for sending me
the notice about my Lesbian Ecard.
It did get to her the second time. The first one i sent didn't

Message:
"I am Ellen Dean author of Beautiful Strangers
my recently published lesbian novel. I love the colours on your
site, and it's easy to find what your looking for except I notice
my book isn't offered for sale. I do hope you feel able to include
it. If you go to my website www.ellendean.co.uk
you will learn more about the book and be able to read some
reviews."
Our
Response: Dear Ellen, At this time we are publishing
only lesbian non-fiction. We will eventually publish lesbian
fiction, but not until next Fall. As far as listing other people's
work on our website, we only list nonfiction that is available
through Amazon.com. Please sign up for our monthly
newsletter, and we will let you know when that portion
of our company is live on our website.
Message:
"I have recently written a short story that a few
friends have read and told me that I should get it published.
If you could advise me and maybe give me some pointers that
would be much appreciated. Great site by the way."
Our
Response: Most novels run between 60,000 - 100,000
words, so it would depend on your word count as to how you should
proceed. At this time, Amazing Dreams Publishing is only producing
non-fiction self-help books. The only place we know that is publishing
short lesbian stories is The Royal Academy of Bards: www.academyofbards.org
Not sure if they are doing anything other than Xena-related stories
or not, but it's worth a look and you may be able to contact them
for other ideas. If you want to get your book out there now and
handle it yourself, Booksurge.com is a wonderful asset: www.booksurge.com
That's who we use as our POD book distributor, and it's the easiest
and most economical way to do this. Booksurge is also owned by
Amazon, so you would have an easy way to be listed with them.
The good thing about Booksurge is that they only charge $99 if
you can submit a PDF of your typeset book. Not bad if you have
the experience or know a graphic designer who can typeset and
do a nice cover for your book.
Here are simple pros and cons of having your book published
by a publisher:
Pros of having your book published by a publisher:
They do the setup and layout work, have distribution channels,
and will sometimes pay you an advance and a little bit per copy
sold. To give you an idea of how much you may get per book, the
author of the book "Chicken Soup for the Soul" received
25 cents for each copy of his first book that he sold. His first
book was sold through a mainstream NY publisher.
Cons of having your book published by a publisher:
Unless you are very famous, most times the author has to do all
the marketing herself. This can include everything from setting
up and doing book signings, contacting bookstores, marketing online,
etc. You put out the money in marketing to make sure that the
publishers keep your book on the shelves. If your book doesn't
sell, most publishers will pull it from the store shelves, and
they will own the rights to not produce anymore books until your
contract is finished.
If you sign with a publisher, please take all these things into
consideration. Our mentor, who has written some of the largest
selling GLBT books in history, had to go through a horrible time
with her publisher when they would not allow her to have the rights
to her own work. She had to hire lawyers, and buy back the rights
of work that was not being marketed.
If you did your own work and set it up as a downloadable PDF Ebook,
you could sell this from your website. You get to keep all the
profits, besides a small amount given back to Paypal, or whoever
you choose to use as your payment gateway. If you want to know
how to make money on your website, we've got ideas set up on our
design site here:
www.adgraphicdesign.com/adgraphicdesign/affiliatelinks.html
If you would like to know more about self-publishing or how to
set up your manuscript for publishers, check out this site:
www.snowdeneditorial.com/resources9.html
They have a downloadable PDF that has a lot of great information
on self-publishing. You also might think about having your book
and any query letters you may write to presses edited by these
folks. If you send a query letter or manuscript to any publisher
and it is not as perfect as you can get it (without plot problems,
typos, or grammatical errors) you will most likely be rejected.
