Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Has anyone had any dealings with www.LULU.com? I'm still searching for a publishing outlet. After reading some of the contracts out there I think LULU has the best. I'd love advice from someone with personal experience. thanks.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Are you referring to self publishing only? In answer to your question, and while I've had no dealings with lulu.com, I've heard nice things about them from other authors. Be proactive would be my advice. Get some of the authors names from their web page and write to them asking their opinions. Couldn't hurt! Good luck, JJ

bamgibbs Member Registered: 06/06/06 Posts: 322 Loc: Durham, NC	Saundra, I considered lulu.com initially because they're right here in my area. However, I was looking for the best BANG for my BUCK and I ended up choosing a company in Chicago, IL (I'm in NC) and i got a great deal....500 books for a little over $1000. I guess it just depends on how you want to market your books. I'm trying to go national so I needed to find someone who could do a quality job for a reasonable price. PUBGRAPHICS was referred to me by a fellow author and sorority sister. Hope this helps! Peace & Bloessings, Beverly Mahone Author, WHATEVER! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age www.talki2bev.com

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	I too have a couple of friends who have gone the Lulu route to get their books published. I think JJ's suggestion to contact some of the authors who have published there to get their input/feedback is a great idea......Good luck!

Rose Member Registered: 09/05/05 Posts: 71 Loc: Georgia	Hey to everybody! Is self-publishing also called vanity publishing? And is it looked down on by other authors? Does it make one "less" of an author to go this route? The reason for my questions is because I, too, am looking into self-publishing...At my age I can't see sending manuscripts in playing the waiting game. Any comments would be greatly appreciated by me as well as others! Rose

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	There is a bit of a difference between Vanity and self publishing and unlike many years ago it has becomne much more popular and accepted by big boy publishers because they also know and will admit how difficult it is to get published when you're not an established name and even then it isn't that easy. Writers need to do whatever they can to get their book out there.
