If you sent your novel, poems or photos to an editor for publication, you probably got a rejection letter. Being published traditionally is very difficult, as most publishing houses refuse new authors and stick with those that were a success in the past. With Lulu.com you can publish your book independently and make it available to millions of readers around the world. Lulu.com's revolutionary self publishing concept puts you in complete control of the creative and publishing process and gives you access to a huge distribution network, including Amazon, Barns and Noble and many more, as well as a promotion network which spans the internet.
All you have to do is upload your work in a digital format. Once on the website, you will find very easy to use tools that will let you choose the covers, the format, the type of binding, paper quality and every aspect related to publishing. After you start selling your work, Lulu.com retains a percentage that is smaller than those asked by conventional publishers, so you can really take advantage from your writing. On Lulu.com you can of course buy books on virtually any topic at great prices and you can network with other aspiring authors. And there are certainly so many out there; only in 2008 Lulu.com published 400.000 books!

Review by Harlan Carpenter August 12, 2011
So far, so good…! Published “There Is a Season” last week on Lulu. My situation is unique, because I don’t require much outside editing. It might sound smug, but I believe I know the English language well enough not to require external editing. Additionally, there likely isn’t an affordable editing service in the United States capable of handling the Spanish language dialog I include in the novel. It adds character, credibility, color and authenticity to my narrative, so it is essential to developing the international flavor I wish to convey. My story is so controversial that most publishers run from it–or want an exorbitant price for publishing. Worse, they make no promise of success, beyond seeing the project in print… While the “vanity” thing might be important to some authors, it isn’t my motive.
Like I said, so far, so good… We’ll see how it goes from here…

I used Lulu twice. Once on a do-it- yourself project and one where I paid for professional services. I had no problems at all for my do-it- yourself project but a completely different story for the professional services. I spend over $500 for professional services. I did not receive my full services and have spent months submitting and resubmitting help desk tickets to get this matter resolved. Nothing! Stay away from the professional services unless you have money to waste or time to lose!
