Well, after giving it some thought, I am considering writing a book more and more. Seems like a neat thing to do, the only problem is, I have no idea where to begin.

I imagine it starts somewhere with actually writing the book, but have no idea where to proceed from there. Where would I find out if someone would publish it. Any recommendations as to who to send it to or how to make it appeal to the publisher?

Also, any idea how one gets paid? Is it strictly royalties, or is there an initial payment made? If so, any idea how much?

Please feel free to post any hints/tips/nuggets of knowledge here - I am completely in the dark.

For anyone interested, it will likely be a book on personal finance....
