Ebook Sample Content Preview:
Once your eBook files are all created, polished, converted and up to standards, it's time to go ahead and take the biggest, scariest step that you're going to take when self-publishing your story. That's right. It's time to submit it to sites like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Lulu and tons of others, if you so desire.
Print-on-Demand Companies
If you would like to produce a print version of your book, I highly suggest Lulu over other print-on-demand services. They are a tad bit more expensive than some competitors, but I must say that the quality of their books is worth the difference in price. At least in my opinion.
If you are considering a print-on-demand service such as CreateSpace, I will simply warn you that their proof/review copies are far less likely to turn out correct than Lulu, at least in my own experience.
I still haven't made my own book available on CreateSpace (which is useful, because it makes your book available in both print and digitally for Amazon customers) due to several review copies which butchered the interior formatting.
The results from Lulu turned out perfectly on the first go, and their process was far more user-friendly. Another thing that I liked about using Lulu for print copies was they do not require you to order a proof/review copy to evaluate before making your print book available for sale.
Using their book creation tool, you are able to view the interior and the cover EXACTLY how it will look in print. This saves you both money and time in getting your book for sale in print, without risking improper or messed up formatting. Much better option, at least for me.
The biggest drawback is that you can't expect as many sales through Lulu as CreateSpace likely can offer. But if you want to order some physical copies of your book to give away, sell or whatever else, Lulu is the best bet.
