A Dire Need for Resources

[Greyson F]

I've been writing like a madman these past couple of weeks, and I will soon post more information about my writing progress in my progress thread. But this is a different topic entirely. I've realized as I've come close to the finishing of my novel that I am lacking many resources and assets that I can use to perfect and publish my book. For instance:

1. I have no professional editor
2. I have not decided where is the best place to publish
3. I have not found an artist that can work on my cover page

These three elements are very important in making a successful book, but because of my age (There are no 18 year old's that want to do either of those three) it is very difficult for me to find a service that can assist me in those three areas that I have not the expertise to make the decision as of yet. It is a learning process for me and until I begin consistently publishing, I need advice on where to start and on who to go to for the editing and cover pages.

Any ideas? I've been looking at editing websites and freelance websites, but my inexperience makes the pricing a mystery, and I honestly don't know whats good for the money and what is overpriced. any suggestions or advice will definitely help me!
