Jenny, I will!

First thing, which I’m sure you’re already doing, is to keep all your stories together.

The easiest way to get published now, without the hassle of keeping your own website and setting up the sales is to sell via Lulu.com

Free to set up an account. Once you have a collection of 15-20 you want in the first collection, let me know and I can refer you to my graphic artist if you don’t know anyone. He’ll do up a great cover design for your first book of stories, 1st collection.

Then you upload/send Lulu your manuscript of stories with art work. They’ll put it up for you on your account and it will be listed under the relevant categories. It’s a popular site so you’ll get sales from their traffic. But you can also put the book cover here on your blog and link it to your Lulu page so visitors can buy it from you there.

Lulu charges a nominal amount and if your purchaser prefers a 3-D book, rather than an ebook, they handle printing and shipping…

Set up a free account with Lulu from now and you can become familiar with all their author services while you put the stories for your first collection together.

When you’re ready, you can also sell the ebook version on Amazon… And by the time you have published one or two or three collections, maybe a traditional publisher will publish, if you want to do that too.

There are soooo many ways to get published now, it is EXCITING!

Also, when you want to, you can also sell from your own website, using PayPal as online processor.

Blessings and when you’re done, let me know and I’ll blog your book…

You’re going to LOVE being published! And your story collections will be very popular.

Thank you for this truly beautiful story.
You are a gifted storyteller that the world would love to hear from. Would you write and publish a collection, and then another?

Blessings and thank you, again.

What? I forgot to leave a message the first time? I must have read it in my feed reader.

I liked the story a lot Jenny, and as someone who has read your stories before, this one is really good, you have come a long way and you should write more of them!

It took me a moment to get the do-do-dos too. Great engaging story to read on this dark cold evening.
