As for not using it, I need to tell myself that a lot of times, as I seem to get attached to that writing.

They do a fine job, but you are the one who needs to do all the hard work of having your book editing, typeset, having a cover designed, then upload the project to CreateSpace, then sell it afterwards. Amazon will list it for you, but people will only find it if they know to look for it. That's your job too.<br /><br />Everything is free on their end, until you want to upload changes. But the costs of all the things I mentioned about are yours to figure out before you go to CreateSpace to print, basically.Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-21100786163103938322013-09-28T11:31:29.146-05:002013-09-28T11:31:29.146-05:00I'm just curious, is CreateSpace a good publis...I'm just curious, is CreateSpace a good publishing company?
