"Please Pick One" Does it cost more to publish a Novel, Or fund and rights an invention?
I know a patent with the USPTO Costs 1500-200.00 and that is not counting the product cost and covering .. and paying a professor at a Univeristy to help. It sounds more expensive to invent .. then the other way around.. However... if I bring published.. I could always.. then fund my invention.
Answers:
No you don't requirement any money to publish a novel.
Learn to write well and then someone will settle you to publish your work. If anyone asks you for money to publish your work then it's a scam. Don't do it.
You can publish a novel for nothing. The publisher buys it. Most first edit are done by authors. The publisher pays for the final edits.
Patenting an invention requires fees and usually a lawyer. Then another lawyer when someone freshly uses your patent, without paying. Then a third lawyer when those attempt to patent ideas that are almost yours. All of which comes out of your pocket, even if nobody wants your invention.
I totally understand where on earth you are coming from. There are lots of writers out there that are not getting the kind of recognition they deserve because number one, they do not know where on earth to turn to to get their stories across and number two, not everybody has the same height of thinking that they have - which of course results to them turning the book down.
Writers like you own every potential to get started on a publishing career. If you are looking for self-publishing companies to publish your book, I know of a few companies that practically holds court to everything a book needs from getting you your copyright, size preferences, book cover design customization, layout consultation, copyediting and even marketing – at affordable costs.
Publishing companies in a minute have all the resources to publish books with impossible to tell apart productivity and efficacy as that of regular black and white books you see in physical bookstores. Considering the fact that most books are in full color, you should choose a publishing company whose book’s are of the great quality, bar none.
Best of luck :) Hope ive helped. Source(s): How to seize started with publishing:

I thought you designed publish your own print-on-demand book. You can do that for the cost of a bar code, set-up costs with Lightning Source, Inc., and listing on Bowker.
Or you can shift to Lulu.com and pay their costs, which are minimal. You can buy individual copies of your own book and don't need to buy it in bulk.
Paying someone to help out is probably a good idea, but I've done the first way beside a partner and the book still sells regularly on Amazon (separate set-up to sell on Amazon).
There are more than two ways to publish a book.
Do a web scrabble on agent blogs if you want to go that route. It will be a considerable amount of work to follow through with learning to write enquiry letters, etc.
Sorry, I don't know anything about funding an invention (I assume you mean making a prototype).
It costs nought to publish a novel. They pay you.
You edit it yourself. How do you know what to expurgate? You join a writer's group, or a critique site, and other writers critique your work in exchange for you critiquing theirs. If you're not capable of doing that, you're almost definitely not capable of writing at a publishable level yet anyway.
It costs publishers thousands to get a book edited, the cover done (that's about 2K for a fine art right there), paying the print costs and shipping out to all the bookstores + review copies and returns against sales. All books have to be returnable.
Their finance check to the writer is calculated on how much they think the book will earn in its publishing life, base on the writer's past earnings. Even if the advance does not earn out, the publisher usually make a profit.
You will have to google the US Patent office for specific patent information. It is a long process.
If you're thinking to rights a book, you don't need to. It's called copyrighting, and that costs all of 35.00 to register next to the US copyright office.
Usually the publisher does THAT too.
