TEST THE MARKET WITH POD

POD is a relatively inexpensive way to test the waters for your book, allowing you to print copies as needed. If your book finds a market and is selling, we can also offer you the opportunity to do an offset run, greatly reducing your cost per book.

So try one of our POD programs along with a distribution and marketing/promotion package that is second to none, and then talk to us about printing in quantity.

There are so many reasons to publish your book with Llumina Press. We offer a reputation for publishing quality books, personal service, the best author discounts in the industry and the highest royalties (ours are based on list price). In addition, we’re the only POD company offering bookstore returnability through Ingram (and no loss in royalties) as well as bookstore representation.

What more could you ask for?

JOBLESS RECOVERY IS SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT! 

FORT LAUDERDALE, MAY 2005:  L.C. Evans’ new novel, Jobless Recovery, like all good satire, strips the newsworthy butt-naked, allowing us to see beyond the cellulite and into the guts of the matter.  Exposing the consequences of the trend to eliminate American jobs, Evans shines a humorous spotlight on some very ugly wrinkles of corporate America.  A morbidly ugly clown, grotesque to look at, but funny as hell.

THE LAST CALL TO WITNESS PROVES THAT CHRIST HAS RETURNED TO WALK ON GLOBAL STAGE EXACTLY AS PROPHESIZED 

Fort Lauderdale, MAY 2005:  The Last Call to Witness by Rod Ennis-Smith offers indefensible proof which cannot be disputed or dismissed of Christ’s return.  This is accomplished by presenting names, physical evidence, His own testimony, and a pattern of operation.

AUTHOR LETS BOOK REST FOR TEN YEARS BEFORE PUBLISHING 

Fort Lauderdale, May 2005:  Chris Pugmire, author of The Sentient Advantage, finished his manuscript a decade ago.  He waited ten years before publishing because, as Pugmire writes in the preface, “When I first wrote this book I wanted to enjoy reading it as if someone else had written it. so, I came up with the cunning plan of waiting ten years without thinking about it and then re-reading it. Surprisingly, my plan mostly worked; and even more surprisingly, I found that I really quite liked it and decided to get it published.”

HITCH A RIDE WITH SOUL TRAVELER, MAX PIERRE


FORT LAUDERDALE, MAY 2005:  Max Freesney Pierre was born in Haiti. English is not his first language.  This poetry is testimony to how far Pierre has taken his ownership of his second language.   He has achieved success as a poet, a journalist, and an educator, in English, his adopted tongue.  Pierre’s literary works have received the praises of scholars.  His previous books, Tambours de la Melee and Fee Caraibe, met with genuine acclaim.  Soul Traveler departs from his earlier works, in language and in form.  Like all great poetry, Soul Traveler recreates the human experience and touches us deeply in our souls.

DISABLED DACHSHUND’S TALE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL! 

Fort Lauderdale, MAy 2005:  A real-life canine role model is immortalized with words and in pictures in Sari Mitchell and Greg Raische’s new children’s book, Ollie the Trolley.  Ollie, the real-life hero dog, lost his hind legs to an infection.  Ollie wears a trolley-like device to wheel around.  Despite the unimaginable pain this true-life puppy has gone through, his spirit and resolve made him the perfect role model for children of all ages and inspired this beautifully-illustrated children’s book, the first of the Patty-the-Petsitter series.
