Publishing My first Book!

Wow!! :) It's been a long time coming!
I've been working on this project for about five years.
I always wanted to publish my own book.
When I was younger I thought all you had to do was come up with a genius manuscript and send it in to a publisher. He/She would read it and go "THIS IS GENIUS!" and do all the work for you. The reality is virtually anyone can publish a book: But, it's TONS of work. Here is a picture of me formatting the story.
