- CatalunyaBob, on 07/08/2008, -2/+2Great advice. With all the self-publishing websites, like Blurb.com, its hard to imagine a first time author spending all the time to pitch to the big traditional publishing houses.
- CrawlTheWarrior, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Totally different approaches. You forego the hassles of finding a publisher, but then you have all the hassles of finding distribution (and a signing bonus)
- puffinstuff, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3Lulu.com has some nice tools and can be priced below Blurb sometimes.
- queenbev, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Blurb's got some nice tools, but damn its expensive, especially for photo books.
- MrFancy, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3Submitting stories via cold email to New Yorker editors doesn't work?
- Bajayjay, on 07/08/2008, -1/+8The self publishing websites have improved A LOT in the past couple of years. Vanity publishing used to be kind of a racket.
- DWNTWNJB, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Especially for photographers, its a much easier thing to put together a vanity portfolio that looks professional.
- skewl, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3I was thinking about doing something like this a while back- thanks for the tips!
- mariajose578, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1I wonder if publishing a children's book has all the same hoops.
- Haoie, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1I've got some great ideas for books.
Whether anyone besides me would want to read them, on the other hand.
