Self Publishing - using Lulu.com
I've used Lulu.com for an illustrated short story. Why? I had a
short story that I illustrated and fancied giving it a go. I know
that short stories are almost impossible to get published so I
thought this was a good way of doing it.
Here's the link the my book:
I've ordered some for my own distribution purposes and the print
quality is good. I have a a few things to feedback regarding
using Lulu in particular but also with self publication in
general.
- Your Own Editoral Process
- Promotion
- Sales
- Distribution
However, before I cover these points, I'd like to here from a few
of you to find out who else has self published. I'll then come
back to these points.
If you have others that you wish to discuss, simply add them to
your feedback.
I'll be back soon.

different formats, also Publishing house styles and decided on
the format you see.
