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…

Finalizing your project at CreateSpace includes filling in your checking account information if you want direct deposit and answering a few questions on what kind of “publisher” you are: business, individual, etc. If you are publishing a book, you then receive the following message.

Unlike Lulu, once you have uploaded your files to CreateSpace, you do NOT immediately have the capability to order a copy of your work. Once you have submitted your files, you receive an email confirmation that states the following: “Thank you for submitting your book. We will review your files and book information and notify you of the results via email shortly, typically within 24-48 hours.”

I was first introduced to CreateSpace in 2007. Once my book, Stealing Wishes, was eliminated from the semifinals for the first Amazon ABNA contest, I was given my consolation prize which was a CreateSpace membership and the ability to publish and order a free copy of my book. I chose not to do this at that time and published the book with Lulu instead. But ever since we here at LLBR decided to add CreateSpace books to our review portfolio, I thought it would be a good experience to create something with CreateSpace and learn more about this company.
