The Lulu diaries

Over on the Guild website we've put up the article by John Morrison from the most recent copy of the Guild's magazine, UK Writer, about online self-publishing with Lulu.com.

I’ve published two non-fiction books with mainstream publishers and a novel under my own steam, so I’m not exactly a blushing virgin. But publishers require long and careful courtship; like Victorian maidens they won’t step out with gentlemen they don’t know, and their long term relationships are often never consummated.

Lulu, by contrast, is a new girl on the block and she doesn’t expect to be showered with expensive gifts and dinners before she delivers the goods.
