Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just want to note that Tate is a vanity publishing service that charges $4,000 to publish your work, so I would recommend avoiding them. They don't admit this info on their site, but there are many sources elsewhere online where people post about their dealings with them. Remember that you should never, ever pay to be published. smile

As far as link-sharing, though, here are a few that I think are useful.

I know lulu publishing makes you pay, but you can just buy one copy of your novel. That way, you can have a proper book to share out to friends and family and word will spread fast about your book.

Failing that, use Authonomy, I do. They're an agent for HarperCollins, in a way. Basically, you can upload your novel chapter-by-chapter and you don't even need to have finished it, people will still read it (Mine got to No.16 in the Fantasy charts and I still haven't finished it). Then, at the end of every month, HarperCollins get the novels with the most backings (By other members), get a list of the top five and they get published. It works some way like that anyway
