Book Description

December 4, 2008
The book publishing industry is being revolutionized by the introduction of Print on Demand (POD) technology, and by companies like Lulu (www.lulu.com) and CreateSpace (www.createspace.com) that let you publish your own titles quickly and easily - once you've written them, that is! No lengthy search for a publisher willing to take you on. No protracted publishing cycle that makes your book obsolete before it is available. No disappointment with the paltry royalties that the traditional publisher offers you. All of this is now under your control. Learn how to Prepare Your Manuscript and Book Cover, Publish using Lulu, Publish using CreateSpace, Sell Your Books Online, Get Retail Distribution with an ISBN, Receive Royalties and Revenues, Market Your Book, and Establish Additional Revenue Streams.

4.0 out of 5 stars Self Publishing made easy, February 4, 2009
This review is from: Book Publishing Diy: The Do It Yourself Guide To Self-Publishing Using Lulu And Createspace (Paperback)
purchased this book because I wanted a fast and easy way to understand the world of self-publishing using Create Space and LuLu. I was not disappointed. The book could not be any easier for a computer dummy like me. It was easy to read and understand doing all the leg work for me. One other aspect I liked about this book, it gave you the pros and cons of both Create Space and LuLu. If you are interested in self publishing and promoting you work, this step-by-step guide from "soup to nuts" is a no brainer-buy it!

This review is from: Book Publishing Diy: The Do It Yourself Guide To Self-Publishing Using Lulu And Createspace (Paperback)
I had never tried to produce my own book although I do a lot of writing for my job. I bought this book as a way to get an introduction to some of the basic ideas and important points and the book does not disappoint. It is a wonderful introduction. I have now published on my own two books and I'm working on several more. This book was a great help!

The author did his best to make his book easy to understand and gave invaluable tips on products, programs that would make self publishing easier. Also his own experiences. I felt comfortable reading it and not stressed out, as other books of this type have made me.
