Here’s an interesting email that landed in some Lulu’ers box last night. If you were having trouble finding your book in Lulu’s Search Option, apparently they were under attack by Gremlins but have now got it all sorted out. I have no idea what the 25% off at the top means, when they later say they’ll be sending you a 15% off special in a few days. Oh, and is it just me or does Lulu suggest you forward the special email to a bunch of people who drink. Why not nurse maids, dog groomers, and trash collectors? Just saying.

In March 2009, I began writing an article for LLBR about how to market your book on Amazon. The result of that article turned into a longer project that I decided to publish as a small book. Taking advantage of Lulu’s free ISBN at the time, I released it as a 93 page guide that included my POD Diary which I wrote throughout the first year of marketing my book, Stealing Wishes.

Today, Nick Popio of Lulu.com announced on the Lulu Blog that they are discontinuing the Published By You (PBY) option. Authors now have to use either the Published by Lulu option and list Lulu as the publisher and use a Lulu owned ISBN, or they have to purchase their own ISBN outside of Lulu to assign toward their book.

I’ve been following a disccusion over at the CreateSpace Community called “How Does Lightning Source Compare to Lulu and Createspace?” While the information has been very good across the board, I thought a recent post from someone called Penumbra Publishing contained a wealth of information that I’d share here…
