Lulu trial

I'm excited about the school possibilities of Lulu.com; the self-publishing site. I gave it a try myself and am tickled with the ease of submitting work and with minimal cost and nifty product. My 75 page 6" x 9" paperback book of poetry with a glossy color cover cost me under $6 to order. It arrived by Priority Mail 4 days after I ordered it.

If you search the site for "school poetry" you'll find that schools are using it for creating their literary magazines, classroom writing projects, etc. It seems like a great way to motivate student writers, to create a modestly priced yet professional looking product, and to remove the hassles of production and distribution. I think it offers some good avenues for fund-raising too!
