Good Evening My Mingle2 Family, Shouts out to all you beautiful people of the world. How's life treating you lately? I hope very well might I add. Here in America's oldest city Philadelphia, its sunny, low 90's & quite hot today. So lets cool off with a cool topic today. I want to take a little break off my controversy & I want to dedicate this whole topic getting nothing about useful advice as well useful critique. Okay, as in last week I was invited to a black authors workshop. This particular author was very powerful to me. His poems & story writing was phenomenal. I was so inspired I decided to start my own book writing. I started writing a book even though the story based on a black family but the characters & the message is universal that everybody can relate to. I would tell you the title but its not copy written yet and I don't want my rights to the title to be stolen from me. But I can tell you the concept of the storylines. It has an awesome cast of characters and plots and turns that make you glued to each scenario like a good year tire & rubber glue.

The Concept- story of a beautiful black woman, a successful bank accountant, a wife, a mother, from New York City moved to Atlanta got married, had a family life couldn't be greater. Her Husband a successful criminal attorney with everything going for himself. The Watkins family has a dark secret. With a life they have in College Park in Atlanta, the Watkins family faces a dark secret. A secret of Infidelity, Physical Abuse, & Murder what will unravel next?

Okay, M2 I have a publishing company have an interest in my book but I'm a novice in this. My question, how do I get this project started? What's the first thing I should do?
All advice, comments, questions, & critique will be use to make me a better author.

Thanks you guys, all replies will be answered!

EyeAmYourHost39,

I find writing to be the best form of expression. the first thing I thought about is to return my voicemail message a representative of a publish company. I'm thinking once my book complete, hiring a lawyer to read over any long complicated contracts, maybe hire a book agent. But this is just the beginning. I also want to script writing for movies & TV Shows universally. Then comedy Sketch writing. Then On stage play writing.
