Lulu.com Has a Great Site If You Want to Publish Your Book

After running around different sites related to literary publishing to bring my hobby to a more intrusive level in my life for the sheer joy of it, I came across the site LULU.COM. If you are a writer who has been considering putting those efforts in book form and you don't want to go through the literary agent, publishing house world to do it this is the site for you.

For many writers, myself included, many forms of writings, poetry for one, though popular on the internet, do not appeal to the traditional publication market and thus book deals are not likely. Traditional publication methods of course are more likely to land you fame and fortune if you can succeed at that than self publishing. But first you have to write something that an entire committee has to agree will make the publisher a profit and though they have many to choose from, in fact too many, they will not publish everything that they thought would be successful. And there have been plenty of examples of success with self publishing to put your work into a book and at least give it a shot if you ever thought about doing it.

Lulu.com offers writers an opportunity that is unequaled from any other site I have been to. You can upload your manuscript, select your book cover and graphics and be published in a matter of minutes; or longer if you have a hard time making decisions. And it's FREE! That's right! You don't have to pay anything to get your book published and you are in control of all. Your book, once published is available for sale through their site but they don't own your rights to your work. If someone buys your book they print it and send it out and you get paid.
