i have mentioned this on the other site and at school, on how i wrote a 30 page alamo story (not even really wanting it to get published, really). after i finished i decided to give it a try and send it to American Publishers, and when they got back to me on the outcome they said that they would be glad to publish it, however, the manuscript i sent them was too short for printing, so they agreed to publish it if i can add another 18+ pages to it. if anybody has any questions or comments please post them...

after they re-format the manuscript, it will look more like a book. Beside, one typed page is probably equal to 1 1/2- 2 pages in a novel.

Once it hits stores I'll pick up a copy. Unless you want to swing a free one over here, of course. ;D
Random BS and going into long, unnessecary detail is all the advice I can give you. If you skipped any sort of subplot or anecdote, you could add those.
