I am thinking of writting a book about the historical architecture of the city I live in. In particular about one architect who's landmark designs have left a huge impact on this city. His name is William Labarth Steele. He primarily used Prairie School and Sullivanesque architecture in his designs. One building in particular is a National Historic Land Mark and several are on the National Register of Historic Places. He designed both houses and buildings. He studied with Frank Lloyd Wright under Louis Sullivan in Chicago, they were Sullivan's apprentices.
Has anyone ever written a book before? Right now I am doing research on Steele's buildings and posting about them in one of my blogs. I want to turn this research into a book. No one has written a book about him or his architecture, yet. The Sioux City Public Museum and Pearl Street research Center is where I am doing my research. They have boxes of material on Steele. I just need to put it together in a book.
If you have written one how easy was it to get it published? Did you contact a publishing company for help? Writting will not be the problem. Getting it published will.
