I just published my first book:)

Hi greengal! And it's great that there are community sites such as mylot to get inspiration & tips in our aspirations in life--so thanks as well =)! Actually, I signed up with lulu before but I still haven't gotten around to publishing anything (I did research as well on the site & basically I read great reviews on this site--so yay for us! ^_^) But I did get curious that before actually publishing your book, I read somewhere that you have to purchase your book, sort of to proofread it or something (so you didn't in your case?)--at least that's what I understood about it... but hmm, if you say you didn't pay a single penny & your book got published--that's really great! & congrats as well--I saw that you had 6 stars on your customer rating! =)

Hi raenie, that's a double yay for us..coz I've read some great reviews too:) When you are in the last step of the publishing process, lulu suggests that you buy a copy to proof read, but I was confident about what I uploaded and the book format so I went ahead and published it. I did order a copy for myself, for which only the manufacturing cost was charged. Other than for the copy, I haven't been asked to pay for anything else. I am waiting for my copy so I can check and then promote it on a large scale.

Wow--that's great news greengal =)! Thanks for the insider tip on that--now I'm more excited about publishing a book via lulu.com! Once I get more time on my hands (since school's almost over here in the philippines--just a month to go!) I'll try to concentrate more on writing! Thanks again greengal, & looking forward to your success (& more books!) =) happy valentine's day as well! =)

Thank you very much!:)

Thank you very much!:)

Thanks Sarah:) Hope you will download it and enjoy the poems.

Thanks Gabs:) Good luck with your book.

Thanks a lot Villageanne:)Do read my poems and tell me what you think. Yanjiaren, I'm so flattered!Thanks a million:) I checked with lulu and guess what, you can publish anything you want in any language.I hadn't bothered about that part of the FAQ on the site since my content is in English. I would love to read all your poems, can't wait for your book..My poems too are for my husband and other important people in my life. I would love to send you a signed copy..hehe! Anyways do buy a copy, read my poems and tell me what you think. Will PM your the site and other details.

great i will get my hubby to buy it for me as a valentine gift..cos i am useless at downloading stuff lol..only thing is..i would love a signed copy lol.. i also have stacks of poetry and i am translating it into chinese..i wanted to make one with artwork ..calligraphy and my poetry..as it is all love poems for my husband..do you think the company you got yours published can do it? will they accept it in two languages? cos my hubby has been translating them and he says they sound very deep in chinese..do they accept pics aswell? i will love to buy your book..and i am honoured..

Thanks Jeb, you should publish your work too. Yup, a few of my friends and family members have bought the book. Right now they are the ones who know, I'm yet to promote it on a large scale.

Thank you! And yes, I am proud of this achievement..:)

Thank you so much!:)

Thanks a lot Sunita, do read my poems and tell me what you think:)

Thanks a ton Bunny!:)

Thanks a ton cupoftea, you should tell your daughter to publish her content. There is no reason to be afraid at all. Check www.lulu.com and tell her to submit her content, she can design her book the way she wants and even control whom it is available to.

Wow! That is excellent, I will surely take a look at your works. I'm glad to have found a fellow lulu user:) Thanks for the good wishes.

Hi maribea, thanks! You can publish in any language on www.lulu.com You control what you publish. Have given you more information in the message I sent.

Thanks triony, you shouldn't give up..keep those chapters coming, one day you will have a fine book:) Good luck!

Thanks Wolfie, I had no idea publishing my first book would be such a breeze. You aren't cheeky at all so don't worry about asking me anything. I have sent you a PM, hope you find all you need in there. Good luck!:)

Thanks Elusive, well maybe it has more to do with spontaneity than forced writing..so give it sometime..maybe you will whip up something good:)

Thank you very much nangel:)

Thanks hmbw:) I do hope you like my poems.

Thanks a lot pooksywooksy:) Feels simply great to have published my book. I sure hope there will be more in the future.
