I want to tell you about Lulu.com! This is something I am really excited about - something I wish had existed a long time ago, but am totally stoked about it existing now! Lulu.com is an online self-publishing website that allows users to create, publish and sell their content with no upfront fee. NO upfront fee! Apart from the personal fact that there is now a way I can publish my poetry, let’s look at some of the various formats in which one can publish:
Paperback Books
Hardback Books
Photo Books
Brochures
E-books
DVDs
That’s just a partial list of what you can create, folks! The Lulu.com print-on-demand marketplace allows users to determine the price they wish to charge for their content and sell to over 1 million members worldwide. At Lulu.com, you own the copyright (do you know how important that is?!). You control the content (again, very important!). You set the retail price and you collect 80% of the profit. Unlike traditional publishers who hold and review your manuscripts for months and collect the bulk of your profits, Lulu.com allows you to control your content and publish within minutes.
They also offer a very cool tour you can take which shows exactly how easy it is to publish with Lulu.com. Additionally, if you are looking for help, support and/or information, you may access their Lulu Community Forums, Lulu Blog and Lulu Workshops! It’s truly everything you would need or want in an online self-publishing website. Finally!

About The Author
Hi there, and welcome to Thoughtprints. My name is Leigh (well, actually that's my middle name) and I am a Colorado native, born and raised. I began Thoughtprints almost 6 years ago when I needed an outlet, and this blog became exactly that for me. This is where I vent my frustrations, share my feelings and talk about everything from current events around the world to the things my dogs do to make me laugh. I truly hope you enjoy your time here.
You always have the coolest links!!
