Can anyone recommend a small publisher that also does editor work as well? And is there a way to vet them?

I'm looking to publish poems and short stories by August!!! I have a title, and book cover art!!!

I'm stuck at a crossroads with "Until the Full Moon Rises" and could use some help deciding... So, someone πŸ’€ and I wanna show the grief... Should I have it come through in a nightmare, smexhual dysfunction despite the rules of what the character needs to achieve, or something else? Comment below!!!

A male character named Kaga with greenish yellow skin and wavy, white hair sits with an unknown hand lifting Kaga's chin. Kaga looks up at the unknown figure with relaxed purple eyes.

I just had a great thought!!! What if I made D&D characters based on my (in progress, I'm so sorry!!) novella, "Until the Full Moon Rises"???

On top of that, hunters are killing Otherrealmers, and the otherrealm need to stay hidden... Will adding more portals help, or hurt?

Radha just likes pretty people, and when he gets decked for looking at the handsome Traveller, he finds himself in a predicament of now being said handsome man's charge, then discovers a world changing secret. Will he stay or abandon his feelings that are developing.

A gay death spirit in a not quite LGBTQ+ favorable 5th century Ireland tries to find love to stay connected. Will he find his bridge between the two? Or will he be Lost?

When one's job relies on traveling the realm as a supernatural being, finding your mate is the only way to keep being able to traverse the two. And that's Kaga's dilemma.

I'll also probably be adding my poetry books as well!!!

Well I hit a bit of a conundrum... I can't find my glue. If I can't find my glue, I can't make books, if I can't make books, I can't sell copies, if I can't sell copies, I can't make money, if I can't make copies, I can't buy supplies, including glue... #oops #booksky

Photo of my laptop for attention... Should I try to write poetry, work on my book, or do the scene in my head (not fully fleshed out) for Patreon?
