besides lulu.com, please. any online or just regular publishing companies would be fine. they would have to be free, too and require no agent.Are there any publishing companies that publish for free?
try www.blurb.com
this one is not free but pretty cheap. $12.95 for less than 40 pages.Are there any publishing companies that publish for free?
You need to understand the nature of the business... Publishers are businesses not charities. There must be a profit involved. Some neo-publishers charge to publish as a printing business would to offset the overhead and losses, but they seldom distribute! Others publish things they believe are going to sell enough copies to turn a profit... these tend to use their influences to expose the book in larger book chains, sometimes even advertising...
Nothing is free, but a parent's love (in some cases not even that!)
Your hard work as a creative writer costs you opportunity to do other things...! Publishers' time looking for good books to print profitably costs them as well!!! Why should any of that be free?
PS: Send your manuscript to publishers as well as agents... it turns out that it is a game of numbers! If you have good and/or commercial material and send it to sufficient publishers/agents it will be found/published by someone!!!
