I found an interesting opportunity for you author types out there. Still checking into it, so don’t take my word completely on the quality of their product yet but…

This place allows you to publish on demand, like my current publisher, BUT… it’s a bunch more.

There’s much more control over the content. Basically, you do the layout, and they print it. There is NO set up cost!! That’s incredible!!! I still can’t believe that!

AND, perhaps best of all… the pay stucture is completely upside down from the rest of the industry. In most cases, the author gets 10-20% royalty per sale of their book (iUniverse gives us 20%) LuLu is set up to benefit the author, and so the author gets 80% of the sale, and LuLu gets 20%. NICE!!! That’s so amazing.

So, I am deifinitely checkin’ into this. The second book is currently in progress, and we may just be switching publishers….

Cool thing is, LuLu is less a publisher, and more a printer. The publisher would be me. Lots more control to the author this way.

So, check em out: LuLu.com

This is another cool thing in the way of self publishing. Just like podcasts and web video casts … on demand publishing is another way for people to independently publish their work for an amazingly affordable cost.

What a cool world we live in. Technologically speaking. 🙂
