Thanks Wendy Jo
Very helpful!!!
I'll be researching that topic more as we approach the new year.
Writing something is one of my goals for 2010.
Looking forward to getting to know you better through 29 Gifts

Hello Moon! There are a bunch of websites that offer self-publishing. If you do a google search of 'print on demand' or 'self-publishing', you will see them. I did my research and chose to go with www.Lulu.com . Their website and…

Hi There Wendy Jo
I'm part of the writers group as well.
When you have a chance, maybe you could share how to go about self publishing.
That is so interesting. Have you been able to benefit from it financially as well?
Looking forward to…

Hi Ceil
wanted to comment on your recent give.
I had the same question run through my mind after giving to a homeless person. Then someone shared something with me that made sense. They said " give if that is what your heart says to do.…

Thank you for this post! I know someone who is struggling with this decision and I'm going to share your thoughts of being "prompted" to change. As one saying goes, "Barn burnt down, now I see the moon."
May your new life…

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and for sharing your own story. At one time my husband and I owned several properties. We spent our retirement and savings trying to hang on to it all.

Sparkles,
You brought sparkles to my eyes after a long day of doom and gloom.
I can usually handle quite a bit but this really knocked me down. I'm an energy practitioner so I know what to do you try to get myself back on track and balanced.…

Blessings in Foreclosure?

Hi All
Today is my 16th day.
It's been a whirlwind of emotions recently as we learned a few weeks ago that out request for a Loan Modification was NOT approved. We have until the end of this month to vacate our home. During this ordeal, I have experienced emotions I didn't think were possible. I am leaning to find the blessings in all of this and some days seem easier than others. Actually, some hours seems easier than others. I am being prompted to say goodbye to the life I… Continue

- Hello Moon! There are a bunch of websites that offer self-publishing. If you do a google search of 'print on demand' or 'self-publishing', you will see them. I did my research and chose to go with www.Lulu.com . Their website and book creation wizards are easy to use and the book quality is fabulous. The downside to Lulu is that the only form of support they offer is online email submissions of your issue, then it takes months for them to get back to you. I have found that frustrating! I think they have grown faster than they can keep up.
With Lulu, you just upload you files (they accept many formats), create a book cover, set your price and publish. You own the copyright to your work. It is all pretty straight-forward.
Now, about making profits. Some times you can make a profit on each book and some times you can't. It depends on where you are selling it and if you can set your price right. For instance, my book is about the healing power of art and it is printed in full color because I included over 30 of my paintings in the book. Printing a color book is much more expensive to make so I have a hard time pricing it well. Whichever website you use to publish your book, they will make a profit on every book. If you want to sell it at local, independent bookstores on consignment, they typically take around 40% of the sale price. That makes it very difficult to make a profit because if you raise the price to cover that 40% , then you may be priced too high and no one will buy it. If you are writing a standard book with no color, it might be easier to make profits.
Feel free to ask other questions. I'm happy to share my experiences with this.

- Thanks for the reminder. I love nature, but since we moved to a town last month I have not taken the time to find a place to commune, I will make that a priority now. I love the poem and the picture.
