My Experiments with Self-Publishing


I've just launched an experiment in self-publishing. I've used the service Lulu.com to create an online store for my picture books. It's called ClayBot.com and it takes advantage of on-demand technologies, only printing a physical book when someone orders from the store. No inventory. No overhead.

I chose Lulu after researching a bunch of services that are available. So far I like it, but I am definitely going to experiment with some other sites. Some similar services include: Blurb, iUniverse, Xlibris, Trafford, Gorham, Amazon's Booksurge, Amazon's CreateSpace, CafePress, Scribd, and AuthorHouse.
