Thank you Laura for getting back to me.
Yes they are a bit expensive. I think my only option at this point is to buy bulk and keep them here to distribute. Sell on line and see what I can do with AMazon since I do have a ISBN.
Maybe somehow someone…

The titles to your books are intriguing.

Hi Lynn,
The layout my husband and I did together using InDesign (he's a professional book designer, so that helps quite a bit.) It was a complex book to do, the color correction was driving us crazy! Many of my paintings have very subtle…

Hi Lauren,
I saw you did a photobook with blurb. I did my book with them too. How are you selling it now that you did you layout with them? I am completely lost with it. I too have a HD photo layout in my book..it is a womens enlightenment…
Laura J. W. Ryan commented on the blog post 'I'm Thinking of Self-Publishing. Whaddya Think? (And Help!)'
Sherrie Wilkolaski is right, an author who wants to self-publish really has to do it properly, or they're shooting themselves in the foot putting out a book that is desperate need of editing, proper formatting and design...I understand wanting…

Laura J. W. Ryan commented on the blog post 'Writing or Hand-Writing: What Do We Lose When We Type?'
This is a beautiful essay! I have always loved the act of writing, even before I knew how to write, just scribbling lines felt delightful to me they were "important documents" to me, they were my stories. I would lay my head down on the…
Laura J. W. Ryan commented on the blog post 'Can Literary Agents Still Deliver?'
The agency had promised that each book would make her rich and persuaded her to make extensive revisions to fit in with their vision of the book.
This little bit bothers me. I never liked the idea of an agent expecting an author to do extensive…

Laura J. W. Ryan replied to the discussion 'Has publishing gotten too easy?' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
"...just because you 'can' self-publish does not mean that you 'should' self-publish." I couldn't agree more...I am one of those indie authors who has gone through the traditional system, took rejection after…
The long process is over, "The Fractured Hues of White Light" is published at last! I'm holding a giveaway at Goodreads!

Five things that I learned about writing (or being a writer) in 2009...

This was a big year for me, and most of this wisdom is pretty basic, but now and then I have to remind myself...
1. Keep looking, keep living, and practice every day...even if it's just a line or two in the journal about the weather...or scribble something on a post-it note...I've written some of my best ideas on those sticky little guys.
2. Patience. Most of my novels I've been working on for ten years...that's a whole lot of patience. But it wasn't always… Continue

Maybe somehow someone else can take a copy of the book , like maybe createspace and somehow make a copy and then I can print with them. that would be ideal!
Have a great weekend!!

Hi Lauren,
I saw you did a photobook with blurb. I did my book with them too. How are you selling it now that you did you layout with them? I am completely lost with it. I too have a HD photo layout in my book..it is a womens enlightenment guide with beautiful pictures in it. I just ordered my ISBN but I am lost as to how to work with Amazon or any other place to sell my book. I won't really make anything much on the book if I sell it in their bookstore...
any suggestions? I am so glad to see someone else used them!!
Thanks,
Lynn

My father's death opened the closet of horrible memories and I began to write "ugly" as I called it then. I began to reach for some honesty in my writing as I went through three years of frequent flashbacks--not of HIM, but of another…

How John Cusack ruined Valentine's Day for Me.
Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'How to Write Memoir? 1. Forget Writing Prompts and Exercises 2. Stake Out Your Territory'
While I agree that we can get carried away and even use prompts and exercises as effective avoidance techniques to tell ourselves, well, we ARE writing something, I found two books and a couple of classes to be enormously helpful in getting me going…
