Out of the woods...

Actual book cover of traditionally published book

Self publishing by lulu.com

My first book, Tales of the Tree People "To tree...or not to tree?" was traditionally published. I knew that my material was good because it was the first children's book that I had ever submitted. I didn't have time to submit my manuscripts to different publishers. I even got an agent, and still nothing has happened. I had to keep writing, and www.lulu.com allowed me to do that! Now my illustrations are used as cover art on my books, and I have control over pricing, which I didn't have before. Lulu even gave me a widget for my website! I'm still looking for traditional publishers, but in the mean time my work is still getting exposure...
