Hi Martha, This site seems to have some eccentric attitude to illustrations: today I saw a lot of drawings that weren't there yesterday but on the other hand only page 12 of the "12th and 13th pages" you promised today!! I really like these sketches and wonder if they can also be incorporated in your final draft. Have you read Bill Bryson's Life and Times of The Thunderbolt Kid? (well, obviously not, although it might keep you awake longer than most!!). I mention it because he puts a random newspaper quote at the start of each chapter, which is how I was envisaging you using the Mom log (it would be interesting to see an extract of that as well, by the way - or have I yet to find it in the thread?).
I will see if I know anyone who can help find a publisher. At the appropriate moment, you will probably need an agent to act as your intermediary as nowadays publishers really don't look at "unsolicited" submissions, but you can still get a publisher ready to receive, so to speak.
Anyway, as you are no doubt a founder member, I guess you can rely on Insomniacs International to give the book plenty of publicity come the day
