I’ve been told that I have a marketable idea which can go in several different ways, but I don’t know where to start and I don’t have much money. I have so many idea’s that could be in a series of books. Any advice would be great, thanks

One of the fastest ways to write your book and get access to a New York publisher is by using a system that has already worked for other people.
I wrote my books using a process which has worked for many entrepreneurs. The process focuses on you writing your book in just a few hours and being able to get it read by a New York publisher.
It’s a good system and it works! Famous people like Coach Carter have used this system and Jeff Bezos (who owns amazon.com) used the system.
I also learned how to use this book to start building my business and it sounds like you could do the same thing if you have a series of books to write. You can find the book on Amazon, and can learn more at this website:
Series or not, publishers only look at one book at a time. You’d have to do the work first to show them at least 3 chapters plus a layout or synopsis for the rest of the first book.
Go down to your local library and look through the books in their arts and crafts section. Pay particular attention to how the most recent ones are written. That’s the style that’s needed. If you can’t write, you’ll need to find someone who can. Check out who the publishers are, as they are most likely to be looking for craft books in the future as well.
You can’t run till you walk–if your ideas are good enough for a book, you need to show the publisher you not only can tell it properly, but have something worth showing. If you want to take the route of sumitting articles to craft magazines, know that those barely pay anything to make it worthwhile, and it’s only a one time payment you’d get.
You’ll need lots of photographs of the finished items. Write down brief descriptions, then go to your bookstore (or library) and look up the publishers in the the various craft books.
Then it’s either writing (or visiting) the publisher with a portfolio of your work and how to make the various items.
Buy the “Writer’s Market” or the “Artist’s Market” book. You have everything you need there from publishers to markets for your work.
