Publishing/Marketing

I had always envisioned publishing this book with a portion of the profit going to charitable organizations focused on finding a cure for children's diseases or those providing support to families dealing with a child being diagnosed with a major illness. I was going through the literature given to me when Blake was diagnosed this past weekend. I discovered that one of the books was published by Candlelighters, one of the organizations that has an office in Texas Children's Hospital. I spoke with an old contact at Texas Childrens and she explained that all literature given to their patients or patients' parents must go through a literature review. It doesn't matter how the book is published. So.....I have to get the book written and published before I can start pursuing hospitals and organizations to support. Still a long way to go....
