Have you ever wanted to write a book and just had no idea where you would begin the process? You might assume that you have to submit your idea/book to every literary agent and publishing house that comes to mind. Not true with Lulu, a new model in publishing called "open publishing". This new model has paved the way for all writers and creators to take their ideas to any market. The name Lulu comes from the dictionary meaning; a remarkable person, object or idea.

In my profession I work with incredibly intelligent masters in the Oriental Medicine field. I manage and produce a Symposium highlighting these professionals. They lecture and present workshops to Acupuncture practitioners, Massage Therapists and Oriental Medicine Doctors. In the past few years I come across many new masters in this profession that have yet to be published. As this field grows and the public interest increases the need for information from a consumer to a professional increases. Social Networking has become the standard for most budding professionals as well as seasoned ones. With Lulu, you have publishing options, you can set your market parameters and make a 80% profit on all sales. Your product is printed by order, not automatically printed to fill bookshelves at book stores.

So if you have a following on Facebook you can market directly to that group of people. Or you can market on amazon.com. As you get started with Lulu author help is available every step of the way. From editing, to cover design, layout, formatting and the publishing process.

Lulu is FREE, you simply create a user name and password, now you can begin.

Since I am not ready to publish anything remarkable at this time, I decided to do the next best thing and make a calendar.

My mom and dad keep asking for my latest photos; so here goes.

The calendar was a simple drag and drop program. When you are ready to publish, your simply click on the green publish button in the right upper corner. My only snag in the process was the upload time. 

If you are interested in purchasing my calendar, purchase here: San Diego June 2011 to January 2012 Calendar. 

More additional ways to publish are; eBooks, Audio CDs and even DVDs. I can think of many people who can benefit by using Lulu professionally as well as personally. Take your remarkable ideas to the open market place with Lulu, you will not be disappointed.
