Creating with CreateSpace: Part 2

Creating with CreateSpace: Part 2

By Shannon Yarbrough on June 5, 2009

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.”

Creating with CreateSpace: Part 1

Creating with CreateSpace: Part 1

By Shannon Yarbrough on June 1, 2009

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.

E-Publishing for the E-Generation

By Shannon Yarbrough on May 13, 2009

With Amazon.com launching its Kindle DX last week, it seems E-reading isn’t going away anytime soon. It’s only going to get bigger and better.
