Self-publishing Made Easier Thanks To The Web

They say that everybody has a book in them. Trouble is, even if you're disciplined enough to write it, it's not easy to get a publisher interested. But today, thanks to the Web, self-publishing is becoming a more viable and affordable option than ever before-in some cases it costs practically nothing to get your book published through what is known as print-on-demand; in other words books are only printed as they are ordered.

A leader in this field is Lulu.com, a site dedicated to getting your book published at little or no cost. With Lulu you simply upload the word processing file that contains your manuscript to their site and they'll guide you step by step on how to turn it into a book that will be available for order online.

Here's why Lulu is such a good bet if you're thinking of self-publishing:

• There are no set-up fees
• You retain all the rights to your book
• You set the sales price
• There are no minimum order requirements

If you're a senior who's always wanted to write your memoir, put together a personal cookbook of your best recipes, or catalog your life earned wisdom in book form to pass on to the younger generation, you'll want to consider using Lulu.com to help you realize your vision.
