Turn to self-publishing, publish your own book, your own way…
Investing in Books About Publishing
New small and self-publishers often ask how to learn more about publishing. When various books on self-publishing are recommended to them, the response is often something such as, “I will look for these books at my library.”

Tips for Self Publishing Your Book
If you want to self-publish, or otherwise pay for publication, there are many choices, all dictated by your budget and your reasons for wanting to self-publish.
