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... So far, so good…!

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! I used Lulu twice. Once on a do-it- yourself project and one where I paid for professional services.
