Can I find someone willing to fund the publishing cost of my book manuscript?

They're called publishers. Believe it or not, they actually pay you to publish your book. How cool is that?

Anyway, their standards are high and they don't take just any old thing. I suggest you research publishing inside out. Find websites, blogs, twitter, and facebook accounts of people who work in publishing for literary agencies and publishing houses. THey give great advice and insights into publishing. Get some books on how to write a book. It's not common sense and it'll keep you from making amatuer mistakes that will get you rejected. The rejection rate for publishing is high, so make sure you put forth your best work and nothing less. Good luck.
