Just out of curiosity, I took a quick look at One Sentence under Fun Stuff. Sometimes people can take forever to say nothing, so it is wishful thinking on my part that they should have to look at this site before they speak!
Then I explored Lulu. What a great site for anyone considering self-publishing!
(Could anyone predict that I would choose something in the Book category?)
Lulu presents itself as "fast, easy, and free" (although not everything is free!) and is a one-stop shooping site for self-publishing. What surprised me, and probably shouldn't, is that it isn't just for publishing books. Calendars, CDs-music and audio books, DVDs, brochures, e-books, and images.
This site offers just about every service a self-publisher could ask for. Although most of these are free, some are fee-based.
*prepub - editing, proofreading, formatting
*graphics - cover and illustrations
*publishing - PDF conversion, uploading, revisions
*marketing and publicity - sample and guide to press releases, tips for book signings, reviews, media kits, etc. *translation services
*pricing and finishing wizard to establish cost of the product
Other advantages include print on demand, no inventory, no set-up fees or minimum orders. I especially like the Intended Audience category.
