how to go about getting a christmas activity book published?

I’ve got lots of ideas, for christmas crafts, that I would love to put together as a book.

Can it be done? Would I have to write it and take the pictures……. then send them off to a publisher? Do they do these kind of books ‘in house’ rather than have people send them in?

I have no problem with writing the contents and have a friend that is a photographer… I just have no idea if it can be done :)

Any advice would be great. Thank you

    My brother in law bought a book that had been written online he called it an ebook.

    I have just googled ebooks and you can purchase software to publish your own ebook. This could cut the middleman out so to speak.

    Hope this helps.

    Instead of reading long articles about the whole process, here’s a succinctly written article on how to publish your book. The writer discussed about 7 Ds of Publishing:

    1. Decide what to write about
    2. Discover your readers
    3. Dedicate time for writing
    4. Design effectively
    5. Designate a professional editor
    6. Deal with a professional publisher
    7. Distribute the book effectively

    It’s a good find. And I’m glad I stumbled upon this site. I find it very useful. You might want to check it out:
