Abstract
For my independent study, I have dived headfirst into the wonderful world of publishing. For the project I have titled: Eat Your Heart Out: An Adventure in Fiction Book Publishing, I have begun the process of publishing my novel, Eat Your Heart Out. In the previous semester, I wrote a book in the fiction seminar class about a trans man who makes a drag club in his dorm room and all the magic that happens along with it. Over the spring and summer, I revised and edited it and got it ready for publishing. With the help of Professor Rafferty, I have been doing my best to get the Google document on my computer out there— to real ink and paper in front of me. This included everything from querying agents to contacting publishers to making an author website and all the lovely submission materials required.
