Independent publisher Kay Stoner has chosen Print-On-Demand supplier Lulu.com as her Preferred Channel for publication and distribution of her monthly minder, The Cycle Calendar.

Ive been publishing independently, on and off, for nearly 20 years, says Stoner, and Lulu.com is the first company Ive found which really puts everything I need at my disposal. I could even produce a book at a public computer at my local library, The stoner channel, if I wanted to. They make it that easy, so long as you have a computer thats connected to the Internet. Ive got plenty of professional book design and production experience, and Lulu lets me put all that to good use, in a very easy and intuitive online process. I have total control over the book content and layout, unlike other independent publishing outlets. Ive found other companies force me to work with their staff, who may or may not understand my vision and priorities. And Lulus print quality is better than what Ive seen other POD folks (and many traditional small presses) produce. Their cover stock is double-coated so it wont curl in humid weather, their weight is substantial, and their inks are clear and have good contrast. I can even produce my own cover art -- or have one of their staffers assist me.

Plus, their people are always knowledgeable, and they clearly have a commitment to helping people like me produce the kinds of books I want to see in the world. And I never get bogged down in inventory or ordering mechanisms. After searching high and low for print-on-demand services like theirs, and being disappointed time and again, theyre a dream come true for me.

[ClickPress, Thu Mar 17 2005] The Cycle Calendar is a 5-year monthly minder for women experiencing (peri)menopause. Developed as the result of the creators years of body-changes experience, it was produced and published in three weeks on Lulu.com. I had this idea for a perimenopause calendar... one that would let me, and other women, keep track of the different symptoms we experiencing during the change of life over the course of five years, says creator Kay Stoner. I had the idea and immediately knew how I wanted to create it. I also knew about Lulu.com, since I published a novella with them about a year ago, and I was sure I could produce a quality product with them.

Lulu.com allowed Stoner to not only produce her Cycle Calendar, but they also take care of the ordering. Major credit cards and Paypal are accepted, so the publisher doesnt need to set up a shopping cart -- they need only link to their Lulu.com product page. Lulu.com takes care of the rest.
