Who Says Getting Published is Hard?


Remember that Seinfeld episode where Kramer wanted to create a coffee table book about coffee tables? Well, Kramer would be thrilled to learn that today anyone can create a coffee table book about anything they like, including one about coffee tables. It’s all possible at www.blurb.com in a quick, easy, and inexpensive way.

At Blurb you can create your very own, bookstore-quality coffee table book for as little as $12.95 with the simple click of a button. Using Blurb’s free downloadable software, you can easily create your own full color, professionally bound books simply by dragging and dropping your own images onto professionally designed layouts. You can also incorporate personalized text, borders, backgrounds, and accents to give your book a professional and creative touch.

Just imagine it, you’re having a few friends or coworkers over for a dinner party and while everyone enjoys a few cocktails in the living room they notice your beautiful collection of coffee table books. To their surprise, your name is on the cover as the author and everyone revels in your publishing genius! What could be better than that?

The best part is that you’re only limited by your own imagination and can create any kind of book you like. You can dedicate an entire book to your baby’s first year, share your love with a wedding album book, honor your parents with an anniversary book, publish your very own cookbook with all your favorite recipes, or show your artistic side by putting together a coffee table book featuring all of your favorite celebrity coffee tables! So, what are you waiting for…start sifting through your favorite photos and get to publishing!
