I am a life long fisherman and lover of all things saltwater and nautical.
The saltwater lifestyle is what I love. I have three great kids all young adults now.
I love writing and have written poems, short stories and now working on a book.
I would give anything to be published so if anyone knows the process please
let me know.

The research I've done has led me to believe that the traditional way is just to contact a publisher and send them your manuscript.
But, many people these days are self-publishing. The fellow who wrote the book The Martian, self-published. His book was recently made into a move starring Matt Damon. I don't believe that many people who self-publish are making much money. It would require some kind of promotion to make people aware your book even exists. And I'm not sure how to get that ball rolling.
I'm pretty close to finishing a work of non-fiction I'd like to self-publish. Amazon looks pretty good. I know where to promote my book, as it's a niche topic. But, I'm not sure how many people, world-wide, would be interested.
