<p>I am thinking of publishing some papers that I wrote (~60 pages), but the thing is, I have no idea how to do it. I've read about getting a copyright and that part seems easy. Do you think it's reasonable for high school kids that aren't even 18 years old yet to get things published? How much money does it cost to publish and print your material + other expenses? Will it run me down deep into debt if I publish something? Should I try to just create my own website and publish it online (make it into a PDF format and upload it to the internet)?</p>
<p>What kind of material have you written? Fiction, non-fiction? Please provide details. Age is certainly not a barrier.</p>
<p>Well they're non-fiction papers and are mostly elaborate and detailed study guides for classes (like a cliff-notes book) that I have been successful in. The one that I want to publish is a very large study guide for AP US History that puts together ~20 resources (this one is near 160 pages) plus things that I found to be useful when taking the class.</p>
<p>The other thing I want to publish is not related to any classes that I'm taking, but is also sort of like a guide targetting other high school students. More specifically, it's a small book on negotiation for high school kids (a subject that I have been interested in for a few years but is not offered in my school.) I've read a lot on negotiation and would like to write something that can be used for high school kids / people that don't have a lot of experience</p>
