How to publish with Lightning Source and CreateSpace

Amy — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:34:51 +0000

Hello wonderful people,

If you’ve looked into self-publishing, you’ve probably heard of Lulu and iUniverse, two of the best-known players. Why are they so well-known? Because they provide services to authors from A to Z. If you feel that you can take on some of the services sold by Lulu and others all by yourself, you may also have heard about CreateSpace and Lightning Source. CreateSpace is the low-service print-on-demand arm of Amazon. And Lightning Source is the little-known POD industry leader, the printer that provides the backbone to front-end companies such as Lulu and iUniverse. While Lulu works with authors, Lightning Source works solely with publishers.

If you want to work with Lightning Source or CreateSpace, or possibly both, you’ll have to master many elements of the book production process, from design to editing to heavy graphic work. This will lead to a great many challenges.

How to meet them? A Site About Nothing is pleased to announce the launch of a free tutorial explaining how to work with Lightning Source and CreateSpace. “I hope to have created the best website with POD resources to publish with Lightning Source and CreateSpace,” says Andy. “Or at least, one in the top ten.” Joke aside, it’s a great resource.

Amy — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:12:40 +0000

Hello wonderful people,

If you live on Planet Earth, you probably have an email account. And if you have an email account, you probably receive spam. Your email program’s spam filter probably removes most of the offending messages. But sometimes, a message gets through from someone who got your email address in a way that’s distasteful to you.

What to do? A Site About Nothing is pleased to announce the launch of a free tutorial explaining how to fight back against a spam emailer. “I hope to have created the best site about how to retaliate against spam emails,” says Andy. “Or at least, one in the top million.” Joke aside, it’s a great resource.

How to Create and Resize ISBN barcodes

Amy — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:02:01 +0000

Hello wonderful people,

If you self-publish with print-on-demand services such as Lulu, CreateSpace or Lightning Source, you need ISBN barcodes. These services supply barcodes to place on your book cover. However, often they will be too large, or use fonts you dislike. What to do? A Site About Nothing is pleased to announce the launch of a free tutorial explaining how to work with with barcodes. Resizing ISBN barcodes can be tricky as the bars need to stay perfectly black, without pixellation or anti-aliasing. “I hope to have created the best site about ISBN barcodes,” says Andy. “Or at least, one in the top hundred thousand.” Joke aside, it’s a great resource.
