I realized there are a great many people out there who do not realize just how easily one can be published these days. I am sure there are hundreds or thousands of people right now who do not even know that they too can be published from home, right now, for FREE!

I am going to briefly go over the steps I took to be published to help as many others as I possibly can. A brief overview first:

1. Compile your manuscript
2. Edit, edit, EDIT
3. Navigate to Lulu.com on your favorite web browser and create a free account.
4. Pick a book size.
5. Upload your manuscript in .DOC or .PDF form
6. Choose from the pre-made covers or upload/create your own cover.
7. Set prices.
8. SELL by any means necessary.
