The book came first, and my uncle suggested I start a blog to promote the book. Since then, I've gotten addicted to blogging, but just ask Mike, I still try to plug the book when I can!<BR/>I did use Lulu, and I'm very happy with them. Sure, I would prefer to have an agent and a publisher with some publicity, but Lulu's quality is really good. If you haven't seen it yourself, buy the book and check out that quality! :)<BR/>I've sold over 500 copies (many of those were bought by Borders Book Stores, so I can't really say how many are still on their shelves). As for financially viable -- it didn't cost me much, so I've been in the black for a while... Also, Lulu offers a distribution package that gets you a bar code and space on Amazon, barnesandnoble.com, etc.<BR/>Good luck with your own book, and email me if you have any more questions!Mister Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797744114515551901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-61759188786911685942008-08-19T07:06:00.000-05:002008-08-19T07:06:00.000-05:00Who are you?

Did the blog or the book come first? <BR/><BR/>Also, I see that your book was published by lulu, which I know is a self-publishing site. It is, in fact, one that I am considering using. Would you recommend it?<BR/><BR/>Have you sold many copies, and has it been financially viable? Lastly, how did you get it on to Amazon?<BR/><BR/>I would be very grateful for any help and advice that you could give me.Margaret Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910776236752629334noreply@blogger.com
