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
offer bookstore returnability through Ingram (and no loss
in royalties) as well as bookstore representation.

NEW ISSUE:
New Accolades New 2007 DIY BOOK FESTIVAL New Articles! New Press Releases New Writer Workshop Submissions
Life’s a Ball with Billy the
Baseball FORT LAUDERDALE, April 2007: Take Me Out to the Ball Game! is a phrase as home-grown as Mom’s apple pie. Over the course of history, baseball has proven to be the most popular sport of all time. The earliest mention of the game was in a small booklet, published in Great Britain in 1744, while the first fully-professional American team was not formed until 1869. In his book, Life’s a Ball with Billy the Baseball, author Mark Cervasio has cleverly shown the creation of a baseball and then gave it a life of its own.
Do you ever watch the News, see all the school violence, and just wonder why? Straight from the mouth of a man who was bullied, Craig W. Tweedie, author of Demon, explains the causes and effects, while providing a remedy. Read the Featured Article of the month here!

What to Do While Waiting for Wings
FORT LAUDERDALE, May 2007: The
emotional stress of caring for a failing parent is not simply a
personal problem any longer, but has consequences that impact the
caregiver’s workplace as well. This new phenomenon is becoming so
prevalent that some companies are actually offering geriatric
care management (GCM) benefits to their employees. Now recognized as
“The Sandwich Generation,” these individuals are caught between
raising children and caring for ailing parents. In her absorbing
book, Waiting for Wings, E. A. Davis imparts a cutting-edge wisdom
about the numerous emotional and practical tribulations taxing the
modern caregiver.
A Poet’s View
FORT LAUDERDALE, April 2007: April is National Poetry Month, and as such, this is a point in time filled with lyrical beauty, heart rendering, and challenging viewpoints designed to intrigue the soul. There aren’t many who do poetry as much justice as Neferti-ti Pranya Hamza in her new book, Trilogy: The Love Generations. .
Across Time: Mystery of the Great Sphinx
FORT LAUDERDALE, March 2007: History is fascinating
any way you slice it. When it’s brought to life, with an enigmatic
and magical twist, it’s just that much more captivating. In his
book, Across Time: Love Eternal, O. J. Harp III brings us a story
that bridges the ages, expertly pulling you into the diverse realms
of the future as well as the distant past.
Condominiums, Conch Shells and Consciousness
FORT LAUDERDALE, May 2007:
Tired of poetry collections where all the poems are on the same
subject or, if there are sections, where each section is on the same
subject, Sisk continually moves between poems on nature, love,
metaphysics, travel… between narratives, satires, parodies,
descriptive poems, personae poems, exposition… between free verse
and poems with 4,5,6,7,8-line stanzas, sonnets, a ballad, a pantoum,
a pattern poem, even a long syllabic poem… all with seeming ease.
