I've finished, but now I don't know how to get it published. All the publishers say I have to go through an agent. I contacted an agent and she said I have to send my book to a script assessor. I found a script assessor online and calculated that they would charge NZ$600 to 'assess' my book. Quite frankly I can't stand this long chain of people who are determined to make money out of me whether my book gets published or not. So I'm trying to find out how to publish my book without going through parasites.
