Writers like you have every potential to get started on a publishing career. If you are looking for self-publishing companies to publish your book, I know of a few companies that practically holds court to everything a book needs from getting you your copyright, size preferences, book cover design customization, layout consultation, copyediting and even marketing – at affordable costs.
Self-publishing entirely means that you get to retain full control of your book’s production and that it gives you the option to publish your work and claim authority of the photos that you have chosen to be published.
Publishing is synonymous to getting that copyright for protecting your book which is why it is highly important to publish it.
Maybe you would like to ask around and perhaps shop around. Many would also suggest getting an agent which could take SO long for them to sit down and actually notice what you have there and believe me, we are not just talking months here but years. Let me give you something to peruse at while you are at it and hopefully this will help in your ride to the wagon of success.
Good luck 🙂
How would I publish my diary?
For the last 3-4 years I’ve been keeping a diary, and every day I seem to be writing more and more about pretty much everything that goes on in my life. I thought about basing my diary on a book, or maybe just as this diary, but there are some things I’m not sure about.
Things in my diary are really personal, and the people involved I wouldn’t want to know it was them – even if I changed the names, it would still be obvious because I’d be talking about them – it couldn’t work could it?
Secondly, it started off really babyish like in my first year of school – but it IS relevant. Would I have to rewrite it? It could put people off reading the rest.
Finally, what would happen to photos/manuscripts that are included? Would it be inappropiate to include those?
Or would it be easier to go for a biography?
Please don’t tell me I’m stuck up for wanting to write about myself. It’s not just about me me me, It’s everything I’ve learnt from life and my dreams and hopes of a different world, and it’s also a romance.
Any help would be welcomed

P.S PLEASE HELP ME with my other question – I’m actually going through hell here!!!

I see by your post that you hate the Jewish People and that you deny the Holocaust.
Your post is an example of the misuse of false but supposedly factual material in a failed attempt to present your antisemitic post as a neutral analysis.
The Neo NAZIS have spent a great deal of time and money to generate fake studies that supposedly show that the Holocuast never took place.
You are either a Neo NAZI or you have been taken for a sucker by some of this supposedly “scholarly” Neo Nazi “research”.
How could anyone think a 14 yr old Jewish girl named Anne Frank was a fraud to garner sympathy for Jews?
Various investigators have studied the Diary. The following very brief comments are based on work by Dr Robert Faurisson of France and by Ditlieb Felderer (of Jewish-Swedish parentage), who both visited the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam and went to considerable lengths to study the problem.
Dr Faurisson spent nine hours interviewing Anne Frank’s father in Switzerland in an effort to clear up the matter, concluding that Mr Frank and others had very substantially adapted and enlarged an original manuscript for financial gain, creating in the process a fraudulent document used in thousands of schools across the western world which helps promote sympathy for Zionism.
1. Life Magazine, 15 September 1958, has a photo of Anne Frank on the cover against the background of what is clearly and unquestionably the ‘childish’, non-cursive handwriting of a very young girl, say 12 years old or younger. Compare this with the handwriting reproduced in a popular softcover edition of the diary, that of Pan Books. In numerous reprintings over decades Pan has included a sample of ‘her’ writing (cursive) and even a signature attributed to her, both unquestionably and undeniably produced by a very mature adult, say fifty years or older. (Anne Frank’s father was born in 1889). This publisher clearly has contempt for the intelligence of their readers. Other editions of the Diary often have either one or the other handwriting style attributed to Anne Frank. The ‘childish’ handwriting is also reproduced in a French Livre de Poche edition with a date four months later than the date included in the sample in the Pan edition. Find a copy of the Life edition in a library and check for yourself.
2. A report in the New York Post (dated October 9 1980, early editions only) called Anne Frank may not have inked that famous diary says that the German Federal Criminal Investigation Bureau (BKA) examined the diary and concluded that portions of the work were written with a ball pen, only available from 1951.
3. Anne Frank’s father Otto Frank refused to allow any interested party to inspect the diary in spite of ‘growing charges of fraud’.
4. Dr Faurisson compares different editions of the diary in different languages and notes strange changes, insertions and omissions, often substantial, showing a continuing creativity at work long after Anne’s death.
5. Both Felderer and Dr Faurisson analyze the diary and note many kinds of contradictions and improbabilities.
6. Professor Arthur Butz of Northwestern University says ‘I have looked over the diary and don’t believe (its authenticity). For example, already on page 2 one is reading an essay on why a 13 year old girl would start a diary, and then page 3 gives a short history of the Frank family and then quickly reviews the specific anti-Jewish measures that followed the German occupation in 1940. The rest of the book is in the same historical spirit.’ (Butz, Hoax of the Twentieth Century (1977) p37).
7. Dr Alfred Lilienthal, the courageous anti-Zionist Jewish author of The Zionist Connection, notes ‘Any informed literary inspection of this book would have shown it could not possibly have been the work of a teenager. Writer Meyer Levin won a suit in the New York Supreme Court against Otto Frank, Anne’s father, for 50 000 dollars as an “honorarium for his work” on the diary’ (The Zionist Connection p819).
8. All of this evidence from more than 20 years ago has in no wise stopped the continuing re-printing and publication of the diary, and the major US media have kept quiet about the issue. (Shhht! Zionism must be propped up, no matter what the cost to historical truth!)
9. Anne Frank died of typhus, not in the ‘gas chamber’. Typhus caused the adoption of measures including the shaving of heads, showering and the fumigation of clothing using Zyklon B insecticide, all (ironically enough) to SAVE lives rather than the opposite. These well-intended efforts have been turned around into the most transparent lies by the Holocaust industry – why would the Nazis shave heads, if not to control typhus-spreading lice? To fill pillows with lice-infested human hair? Come on! Why did ‘gassing apparatus’ have to be ‘disguised’ as showers?According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica Micropaedia (1975), Otto Frank was hospitalized (!!!) at Auschwitz (!!!) and survived the war (!!!).
The vast hordes of ‘survivors’ in the 1980’s and 1990’s across the western world have been a wonderful confirmation of the Holocaust deniers’ standpoint. (Last night I watched one of those Jewish-produced lawyer-police TV dramas, in this case with a storyline based on an insurance company enriched through sales of policies to Holocaust victims. The action takes place today, 21st century, but the program still has a Holocaust survivor as a witness! People have been so successful
