Self-Publishing Through Lulu: Introduction

Several of you asked me to post about my experiences with self-publishing the anthology through Lulu. So I will do that. At first, I thought about compiling a free ebook to tack onto the sidebar because I want to include illustrations. I may still do that.

For now, I’ll start posting here. Overall, it’s been an easy process using their interface. The hard part has been formatting the book correctly so that the pages will line up the way I want them to. I’ll talk about that, font usage, interior page layout, book cover design, etc. Look for Part I on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

I agree. Whatever problems I encountered were my own goofs LOL

The process at Lulu is pretty straightforward, and goes step by step. But I think a lot of people could benefit from a detailed guide - that’d be great if you shared your expertise with folks!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Same here, Marti. I’ve learned quite a bit about book design because of this. Hopefully, the articles I’ve written (they’re in the cue right now) will help.
