[Stylist] Some Publishing Anxieities

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

David and all,

First, this listserve runs off the NFBNET list, so, I don't think you
unscribed to anything, fortunately, smile.

Second, I'm taking a publishing in nonfiction class this semester on campus,
so, if I learn anything of interest to this group, particularly concerning
self-publishing, I will pass info along.

Bridgit

Hi Members,

Glad that I am still a member here, though I did drop my membership from the
NFB listserv. Don't tell, okay..

My 12,000 word autobio is presently being edited by a friend and
administrator for the FB group Writer's Cafe. I am trying to firm things up
for October with DLD Book Publishing, and have been informed by them they
will publish to CreateSpace or Smashwords. I was considering BookBaby but
the recommended package would run close to $1500. I don't have that kind of
money. It would offer a fair array of goodies though.

I notice Lulu on the other hand is either free, or free plus services you
desire. Some of you have gone the Lulu route. Who published for you?

I like the review option they offer even if it is a Kirkus Review.
Reader reviews are tough to get..

I like the author copy idea from Amazon and or CreateSpace. Those may be
what family members get as gifts from me.

I did discover at Scribophile.com, there is a group for memoir writers
called Memoir House that I may look into. I am presently critiquing someone
else's memoir there. I bought a pay membership giving me unlimited benefits
for $65 per year which runs out in Feb.

I consider it worth the expense given the price of professional critiques.

Well, any help on the above regarding Lulu vs. CreateSpace would be helpful.
I am leaning toward print, print on demand and EBook.

If money becomes an issue, print and print on demand will be the order of
the day.

Cheers,
