Need help :)

[Guest Stephan-Lacoste]

Hi guys, I'm really thinking about writing a book about my life. Since the day I was born in the middle of nowhere in france to my actual life in escorting in the states.

Of course I can't do it myself, because I suck in English, so has anyone an idea or advice ? Or is anyone interested to do it ? What would be the deal or rules to do so

Let me know, Because I know that I won't be escorting for much longer , all my life and I need to do it soon, just to make sure I still have everything in my mind, memories

My advice is so to include hot pics - not just of you, but lots of that Mike Stefano. By hot pics, I don't mean just naked, but overtly pornographic.

Tu peux toujours écrire en Français, mon petit bonhomme, et trouver quelqu'un pour traduire. Je pourrais me porter volontaire..(You can always write in French, my little boy, and find someone to translate it. I could volunteer...) :-)

Stephan,

I think it is great you want to write a book! There are so many wild adventures that we go through in our lives and I think others would like to read it. Especially Escorts! We all have that common bond and have experienced, not to the same level, but alot. If there is anything I could assist in just let me know! Good luck and talk to you soon.

Your English is really good:0) I have a client who runs a small book publishing company. I'm meeting him later. I could ask him a few questions if you'd like?

I agree. Le Francais est un langage beaucoup plus romantique. (French is a much more romantic language). You can always have the publishing company translate it in English once you complete it. It may turn out to be a best seller both here and in Europe...just don't forget to put those sexy pictures of yours in every chapter.

When somebody is contracted to write a book for a publishing company, they company usually provides an "editor", to go over the book and correct errors of usage. This is common even for native speakers of the language. And the expense of paying the editor is partial justification for the publishing company to take a share of the profits of the book.

 

I would volunteer my services, but liubit parles francaix beacoup mieux que moi, and my postings here are so often riddled with misspellings and typographical errors, that you probably wouldn't want my services anyway!

 

So you could take liubit up on his offer, or hire somebody either by paying them up front or for a share of the profits.....

[Guest Stephan-Lacoste]

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate your advices.

I have thought about it since a year now but since then Lots of things happened, so believe me, there are so much to say and the Pics idea, is great ( by the way new ones will come up soon )

Adam, I really appreciate your post, that is sweet of you, coming from a great looking guy like you, I feel blush. Hope to meet you soon.

Mon cher liubit, Je te fais d'enormous bisous de las vegas et sache que je te contacterais tres prochainement. ( My dear Liubit, huge kiss from las vegas, please know that I will get in touch with you very soon).

Mike is willing to help me as well, and I really like his way to write, but time is a needed and we both do not have that free time.....

Write it in French, it is almost done, so far I'm the one who wrote it , but believe me, I might not suck that bad in French like I do in English, but that is not that cute and it really needs rectifications...... and it has been 4 years that I left France, and I have tendance to loose my vocabulary, shame on me......

I'm not looking to make a bunch of monney from it, Just looking for a way to share my whole experience, that is all. SO I guess, sharing the profit would be the thing to start with.......

Again thanks a lot guys

love

Stephen: The really important thing is to get some words on the page. It doesn't matter if they are in French or in English. So many "failed" authors spend all of their time thinking about what they might write instead of actually writing. Once you have a chapter or two, you will have something to show to a possible translator/collaborator and/or a publisher. Good luck!

 

P.S. I wouldn't count on having a editor from a publishing house clean up the English. The old days of careful editing are long gone and this job usually is assigned to new hires straight out of college.

Recognizing that you know nothing about me or my qualifications to do this, if you send me your outline (table of contents) for your book, I would be happy to provide a free opinion.

Hi Stef:

 

I think you have a wonderful idea in putting your story in print. And many here have offered some sound advice, particularly WetDream, in encouraging you not to worry about the language as much as getting words on paper. I haven't published any books, but I am published monthly in a newspaper, so I have some experience in editing. I'm willing to help as much as I can, and I see others have also offered their assistance. So feel free to call me for any reason, this one included.

[Guest Joey Ciccone]

I'll do it, but it might end up being about MY life. :-)
