A brief intro is fine, it's the ones that tell you the entire book that I can't handle. ;)

Did any writers in this forum say they use Createspace to print paperbacks? Do you have a photo of them you could share?

Stephen Isaac (stephenrisaac) | 8 comments Hello all,

My name is Stephen R. Isaac. I am have published one novel so far, Until We Die, which is available for free at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

I have also written a second novel entitled, In The Flesh, which I am currently editing.

View my facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stephe...

It is good to be part of a community of writers. I have seen some awesome ideas in my three days of being a member of Goodreads.com

R. Archie (rlynn) | 31 comments Hello everyone:-) Marisa, I have used createspace once. Here the link to view the cover of my book, http://www.amazon.com/Trial-Marriage-.... Being that it was my first time I thought it turned out okay. Although if I did it again I might try to find or create my own cover to use.

I'm always trying to provide helpful tips that I come for new authors like myself, so feel free to view my blog, http://rlynnarchie.wordpress.com/ or visit my facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/EBooksByRLyn....

Gloria Marlow (gloriamarlow) Marisa, small presses are those that aren't the larger, main publishers, but aren't vanity or self-publishing. I guess they are "independent" presses. I am published by The Wild Rose Press and Authors Ink Books.

Amy Lou (lou23) Hi everyone. Dunno if anyone will notice this but I'm new here. Everyone calls me Ice. I'm a new author looking for friends, supporters, reviewers and promoters. I love a variety of books to read. NA/YA, fantasy, paranormal, horror, thriller, romance, historical romance/fiction, mystery/crime, you name it. Whatever catches my fancy.
If you want me to review a book ask and I'll see if I can squeeze you in. I'd also appreciate offers to read mine, though I hope it gets picked to be reviewed on here anyway. Nice to meet you all. I'll be lurking around.

~*~Ice~*~

Hi back at you. Great club btw. Any advice on getting acquainted with people? I feel a bit lost at sea and with a toddler running around it's hard to sit down and really surf through


Jackie - Fire & Ice Book Reviews (jackiefireicebookreviews) | 0 comments thanks! Most people get on and off the group, but they like to chat all over the group, so you will find conversations in different areas.

Hi Marisa, nice to meet you. Sure. If you'd like you can PM me on here when you've finished work and we'll see if we're both up for reviewing eachothers work. I do promotions too, especially for works I like.


Jackie - Fire & Ice Book Reviews (jackiefireicebookreviews) | 0 comments Marisa and Ice, If you trade books, please notify me, so I can mark you guys down on my list of people that are doing reviews. Marisa I also need to know if you are reviewing Joanne's book? If so please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you

J.M. Stewart (authorjmstewart) Marisa and I seem to be having email snafus. The first email with the book attached didn't go through and apparently she didn't get the one I sent last night. I'm waiting to see if maybe the one I sent last night show up today or not.

Marisa--I sent another email with a PDF of the book attached. Let me know if you get it?

Thank you very much, nice to meet you too. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like what you see. I'm here to help others and to promote my works too. What kind of books do you like?


message 71: by Amy (new)

Amy Lou (lou23) Just to make it clear to peeps, I love to help people out for free and to get help in return if they offer. I'm not a review for review person always because I'm busy reviewing other works for ppl on different sites. If youdon't mind being patient then that's fine.

If anyone wants to review my book feel free. It'all be free this Saturday (June 15th) anyway and every review counts. Just check out my profile it's there. In the meantime if anyone wants help or advice I'm here, just please be patient, I will get back to you.

I'll check it out R Lynn. I decided to go with LuLu.com again. At least I know I'll get quality with them, even if my darn book cost me $26!

Hi Joanne,

Let me go check. I work about 10+ hours a day and I am in college so I have not had a chance to look yet. I'll go look now. ;)

Got it. I sent a reply :)

I can't read it now because I'm reading a library book that has to be back next week and R. Lynn's book. But as soon as I'm done with one of them I will pick yours up.
