I mostly helped before the uploading to Amazon, proof reading and fact checking the original manuscript, as well as things like post launch promotion and advertising. There was about 10 of us helping with the book as there is a huge amount things to do to get an original manuscript from a Microsoft Word Document to finished book available for sale on Amazon.

DW self published a novel about 10(?) years ago. She also helped a coworker publish a couple of books that are available on Amazon.

My cousin had always dreamed of being a famous author and had always written down stories because he wanted to try to become a successful novelist and he once tried to get one of his stories published but the publisher turned him down and he tried again and the same thing happened. I would have to say you might want to contact a few publishing companies and ask how you would get your stories turned into a book or if you have written a story you may want to try calling your library and see if they will let you promote your story there. Because libraries will often host events where local authors promote their stories and they put your book on display under local authors and that's a smart way for you as a writer to be noticed. But try sending your stories to publishers and if one publisher rejects your stories you can always try another
Good luck with the book Cogswel Cogs
