Who is the best, most inspiring author of all time?

[Danzgirl]

Who do you think is the most inspiring, go to author someone could... go to if they wanted to have their written piece looked at?

P.S. Anyone know any publishers? Finishing a book and would like to have it published. (obviously)

You have to get an agent and send out querie letters to about 15 or 20 publishing companys

Truth be told, I don't know.

As for the second question, I found a site that might help. I haven't used it myself, but searchforpublishers.com seems good and I couldn't find any bad reviews on it. You might want to read their privacy policy. They make their money through that.

1. I don't think any published author has time to read manuscripts. But, inspiring to be would be JK Rowling. She was poor as heck when she wrote Harry Potter, and with her creativity, she is a billionaire.
2. You need to find a literary agent, not a publisher. The agent will find a publisher.

j.k. rowling! I mean, her life story is so amazing, like a modern day rags to riches tale. Plus, her harry potter books rock like hell.
