Thank you Phoenix, Mey and Annodomini for your encouraging responses, I have started ploughing through The Writers & Artists Yearbook, I think the trick being to find the right publishers or agents (my story could fall in the educational category) unless I want a million rejections (although I am as stubborn as a mule I bruise easily, unfortunately). I would self-publish if I had the money but I don't so that's out. Publishing for e-readers sounds interesting though I'm not sure I have the necessary brain power to understand how to do it but will find out. In the meantime I have been instructed by youngest granddaughter to write a personalised book for her like I wrote for her sister, and, given that I have just joined the ranks of the unemployed, may also possibly resurrect and restructure the other children's stories that have been lurking for ages in a To Do folder! Thanks again ...
