Vector art is great for projects where you’ll need something that won’t lose detail and resolution when you enlarge it. Vector art is resolution-independent — you can take a vector file and blow it up as big as you want and NOT lose one ounce of detail.
All of those application are desk top publishing and also graphic arts programs.
You don’t need to know how to draw — and once you get the hang of using the pen tool in Illustrator, you can recreate just about anything. I redraw logos and illustrations at work all the time simply by tracing over a scan of the original.
Vector art can include screens

Start by finding a literary agent to represent you. Make sure the book is as perfect as you can get it, then send query letters to agents. This is a one page letter describing your book and a little about yourself.

There are several websites out there that will help you find an agent, my favorite is QueryTracker.net at http://www.querytracker.net/ . It is free and has a list of literary agents and also tools to help you keep track of who you already queried and who you haven’t, plus more.

They do a good job of keeping the crooks off their lists, but it is still a good idea to double check at http://www.sfwa.org/beware/twentyworst.h…
There are a lot of crooks out there. Never pay anyone to read or publish your book. A real agent will never ask for money except as a percentage of your royalties.

Keep in mind that finding an agent and getting published is not an easy process. Some people have to query hundreds of agents before they find one who will accept them (sadly, some never get accepted), but be persistent and keep trying.

You should also visit http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums one of the largest forums for writers. They can be very helpful.

Good luck.

You can still use it on Windows 7 through Windows XP Mode. You can get Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 for free on Pro and Ultimate versions of Windows 7. And if you only have Windows 7 Home Premium, then you can pay for a Windows Anytime Upgrade to Pro or Ultimate and be able to use Windows XP Mode.

Windows XP Mode download: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

If you have only Windows 7 Home Premium, you can upgrade it to at least Pro for $90: http://www.staples.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-Home-Premium-to-Professional-Upgrade/product_820229?cmArea=SEARCH
