Heading east just before
The split of I-40, I-24
There on the shoulder
A pretty red-headed lady
Ejects herself from the car
Swings the passenger side door shut
Behind her and bounds to the traffic
Thrusts out her thumb high
Insisting someone stop
And take her away from him

It's a Lulu!
Ok-I admit it-I have a bias!
I think Lulu is the easiest to use self publishing site out there!
IT is the site I recommend to all newbies in indie or self publishing!
It's not always the least expensive, but ti has more options and many free tools, like PDF conversion.
Lulu is my Go-TO site for testing new ideas and getting first proof copies
I may use another publisher to distribute my work (due to cost) but I will alwasy have a presence on Lulu !
Want more info? Select the tab on this blog title Pick a Pub"

TERMS / PAYMENT
There is no payment for free web or newsletter displays. There is a payment scale for compilations that are sold. Articles can be reprints or unpublished. Writers do not have to have any affiliation with Killer Nashville. Writers retain all rights and can publish articles elsewhere, but Killer Nashville has unending reprint rights in print and on the web. Killer Nashville currently has about 4,000 subscribers so this is also a great way to get the news out about your books, tours, or organization via your by-line.
For each submission, we would need non-exclusive, non-ending print and electronic reprint rights, including the right to use the submission in newsletters, online, in print versions, or in other media. (This is not the same as one-time rights, since it's hard to have one-time rights on, for example, a web post.) We would need to be able to use the article multiple times, either online or in print. We reserve the right to edit submissions for length, clarity, or content requirements.
We do not need first-time or exclusive rights to anything. The article may have been previously published. The article may later be sold or published elsewhere by the writer (although any link to KN would be greatly appreciated). The writer retains ownership of the work. To optimize exposure, the writer's email address and web link may be included with the article.
For all Killer Nashville distributed materials that produce an income (e.g., if a compilation or anthology is created and sold in web, book or other format), Killer Nashville will pay a 10% collective royalty based upon gross receipts to be divided equally among all writers of that collection. In addition, authors will be collectively paid 1/2 the royalty given to Killer Nashville by any outside publisher.
Submission indicates agreement to the above terms.
THEMES
Each issue will have a loosely interpreted theme and will be planned 3-12 months in advance.
June: Chaos (as it acts on plot or as a character - what elements besides the people act as characters in novels?)
July: Writing Tools
August: Good vs. Evil
September: Love & Loss
October: The element of surprise - unraveling a story
November: Coming of Age - evolution of a character in a novel
December: Watching the Detective
January: Secrets - skeletons in the closet
February: The Art of the Perfect Murder - Killing Your Darlings & How to Commit the Perfect Murder.
March: Romance in Any Genre
April: Using Your Own Story in a Story
May: Advising Aspiring Authors
