This morning I retried all my books on Lulu.com and deleted my author spotlight. I love that they have gone to a free expanded distribution like CreateSpace but their prices are not competitive enough ($16 vs $12.99). I also love having the hardcover edition but, under the new distribution program I would need to purchase a proof copy of every book and I would make less than $1.00 on each $33.00 hardcover book purchased through those channels. Lulu was the first print-on-demand site I learned of (it was recommended by some indies at Tampa Bay Comic Con in 2012) and helped me to truly feel like an author when I was able to hold MY book for the first time, but it's not fair to ask my readers to pay more when I get paid less. I also really LOVE the matte finish CreateSpace is offering now and I think it really goes with the Journalistic style of my series.
