Thing #19

Lulu.com has quite a promising proposition with their Aspiring Authors program for K-8 schools. I've had several book publishing marketers send me information about publishing our students' books, but this one actually looks good. This last school year we had quite a spate of aspiring authors bringing us their stapled manuscripts to put in the collection. They love having their works, cataloged and displayed. Most of all, it seems that a real (Kapco) cover and a barcode are the cat's pajamas. I've actually made AR tests for a few for which it is possible! I think using Lulu could be quite fun AND an unusual fund-raiser for our yearly auction.
