One of my friend's son is 19 and has Asperger's syndrome. He is quite a bright lad and is doing a business studies course at college. In his spare time, he has written a 300 page fantasy novel.
What is the best way to send it off to someone to see if he/it is any good? Would they accept email copies of the book or cd's etc? Printing off multiple copies of a 300 page book takes a lot of ink!
If it doesn't get far, she has thought of self publishing it. Getting his name in print would do wonders for his confidence.
Thank you.

has to be hard copy and best get an agent first

i'd self publish and market the hell out of it by all possible routes
