Reply With QuoteNice. Congrats. I admire your ability to follow through with a whole novel.
What's the story with lulu.com? What is it and how's it work?
I edited it (for the tenth time) and now got it ready for distribution. I got a copyright (owned by Lulu) and an ISBN number. I will inspect this edition and then it should be ready to sell on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

Lulu is a print on demand service. It allows anyone to submit a manuscript on their website and it will generate a book. This differs from Publish on demand services which are not always that reputable. I chose Lulu because it cost less than other similar services (such as iUniverse). Also, unline a lot of Author Mills (or vanity presses) it has a decent reputation and does not carry a negative stigma.Originally Posted by BooRadley
Of course, most established writers hire literary agents but unless you are already established and have solid credentials no agent will touch you.
Mainly, I do not aspire to be the next Stephen King, but I do like to write and was looking for a way to get my ideas in print.

That's super-duper cool. I like to write, too, but I doubt I'll ever have the ability to undertake (and, more, actually finish) a whole novel. That's really impressive.
Congrats, again. (And thanks for the tip on lulu. I may do a coffee table book of travel photography or something).

in chapter 11 or 12, it is a discussion of futurama in the book (on a side note, i was thinking there were parrallels between Illyana and Leela bewfore this chapter
firstly, it's leela not leah. secondly Hermes, is an accountant/bureaucrat not a doctor. thirdly, futurama is anythigng but stupid ("it's suppose to be stupid. it's a comedy") alot of the genius of the show flys above alot of viewers head though. an example of this was the maths lecture on the bender's big score dvd. it's like wow, man. see http://futuramamath.com/ for more on the hidden mathematical genius of futurama
saying that, i am liking the book but these errors need correction i feel
e. e. cummings is my hero.
i have finished it. i thought it was an ok read.
though i have to say i felt that the grammar and spelling errors were off putting and made it tougher to read then it should be. i'm no perfect speller. hell i'm no where near a perfect speller but i think as the case was that you were asking for people to part with their money for the item, you should have had the spelling mistakes cleared up and errors cleared up before you had offered it for sale
my mother also queried about the line spacing keeping on changing.; some single line spacing and some double line spacing.
i think it was good but it could have been better.
have 2 or more people check the work and it'll be better (as one person could easily mis a mistake)
just my advice
e. e. cummings is my hero.
Congrats.
How many pages is it? I can never seem to make it far past a 100 pages...
wow sounds very... deep... hope everything goes well with sales and whatnot
Nice. Grats, Crim, on being published and all that. I'd love to buy a copy, but you have to autograph it with "DngrMse is always write", first.

I read the summary for your book, that sounds really good. I'll probably check it out as soon as I come into some extra money. btw, I wrote a book too if your interested in checking mine out. it's called Ace Darkly: The Heavy Metal Man. It's my first book, and I edited it myself too. Editing was the worst partRead some comments above I know how you feel, still, looking forward to checking your book out
