I am going over my autobiography as you read this. I need your help since I have questions. It is about my hardship in life in two subjects: finding my bride and employment discrimination. You will have to read it to understand where I am coming from.

Questions are...

1. I have at the moment 646 pages one sided, double lined. I need to make sure that my manuscript should have ariel font and size 11. Is that correct or needs to be bigger or what?

2. Since I want to copyright it and submit to book companies/publishers, should I submit pictures I want to put in the book along with it or that should wait till they accept it?

3. In my book, I do not use real names of people. I also do not use real names of places that are still in business but is it ok to use real names of places that are gone out of business (for example, there is this roller rink I used to go often till it closed down the same month I graduated in June 1983), can I use that real name?

My goal is to have it published then if popular, I like to make my book into a series of motion pictures to be released in theaters nearest you.

My life is too much of like a book or a movie. I faced dangers, threats, emotional injuried, teased, used, discriminated, etc. Not exaggeration but has faced just like those in books and movies.

I found this site, it might help you answer a few questions, like what font to use,( 12 times new roman ) and to double space. I see it also talkes about sending photos. It does not say anything about naming places that are no longer in business.

Invest in a copy of "The Writer's Market 2012". It will tell you who to submit to, how to submit it, whose taking what you are offering. Real publishing houses. Not self publishing which anyone can do for enough cash. The idea is to get paid.
