How to Get Published covers how to get your short stories, articles, memoirs and children’s fiction before the public. Includes lists of free resources available to writers seeking a publisher. Self-publishing is also an increasingly popular alternative and Saunders discusses that option as well.
Why am I, Lisa Saunders, making "How to Get Published" available for free?
At the end of almost every public speech I give, people inevitably ask me, "How can I get my story published?" I decided to share the hard-earned truths I've learned over the years because many of you have a story to tell that can inspire, amuse or teach a truth that can change someone's life. You deserve to get your information out there with the least amount of wasted time.
Everything I learned over the years helped me find a publisher for my memoir, Anything But a Dog! ($14.99). Anything But a Dog! is the humorous, true story of how a big, homeless dog found his way to my disabled daughter and to her couch. Books purchased through the National CMV Disease Registry raise funds for congenital CMV research and support. Congenital CMV causes more birth defects than Downs syndrome.
Reviews of Anything But a Dog!

"If you're an animal lover, you'll love the critter tales as much as the special-needs storyline...really lifted my spirits." Terri Mauro, About.com
“Saunders takes readers on a road trip as harrowing as any Dog Whisperer training challenge." Tonia Shakespeare, Rockland Magazine
“A mother of a daughter born with severe disabilities uses humor to candidly relate experiences of acceptance and daily hardships with the people and pets forever changed by her child’s life.” Joni and Friends
