I’m going to Lulu.com my poetry manuscript. I don’t want to have my poems checked for dingleberries - I don’t like the contest system.
I need some help with the cover. If you are an artist & are interested, please email me. I can’t pay much, because of my medical bills. 
Also, if you have any advice re: lulu.com layouts — fonts, etc — so the book doesn’t look stupid, that would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Jilly, good luck with your book project. I’m not an artist, as you know, so I can’t help you out. But I will get a book!

Good luck with the book project Jilly! Please keep us informed about how things go with it. I find some real attraction to the Lulu.com way of doing things, especially from the perspective of someone living in a remote, non-English speaking part of the world. Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you opt for Amazon?

I might do Amazon, too, Russell, for the kindle.
