Writer Erika Dreifus has written up her experiences with the Lulu.com self publishing service.
Her story and her insight into self publishing, and Lulu.com in particular, will be of interest to anyone who's thought about writing a book and going the self publishing route. Erika breaks down her experience in easy to follow chunks, and what we get is a great review of what seems to be a great service for self publishers.
Lulu tracks and pays the royalties. Authors may log into their accounts at any time, day or night, to check the latest sales, and they set their own royalties. Lulu
s commission is 25% of that royalty (or $.19, whichever is greater). Example: You publish an e-book. You set the royalty at $4.00. Lulu adds a $1.00 commission. The e-book price is $5.00. You are earning 80% of the total profit.
That sounds pretty good!
