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.

2007 NEW YORK BOOK FESTIVAL CALL FOR ENTRIES FORT
LAUDERDALE, October 2006:
The 2007 New York Book
Festival has issued a call for entries to its annual program
celebrating books that deserve greater recognition from the world’s
publishing capital. 2005 DIY BOOK FESTIVAL WINNERS ANNOUNCED
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: Keith White's "The Portal" was named DIY Book of the Year and Treasure Trove Inc. was DIY Publisher of the Year in the 2005 DIY Book Festival, whose winners were announced today...
TEENAGE AUTHOR TELLS OF THE FUTURE...
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: X-Box, Gameboy, Game Cube, Play Stations 1 and 2, etc., ad infinitim. These days an imagination is a hard thing to come by. With all the hi-tech, innovative and, yes, ingenious games available in the stores, a young person doesn’t have to have an inventive thought, he has only to purchase a toy. Daniel Neumann, the 16-year-old author of One Man Army, is an original. A thinker of today, with a profound imagination, Daniel offers us optimism for the future generation...
The Truth Deserves a Bodyguard of Lies…
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: Or so said
Winston Churchill (before he was dead). And how right he was. In
Cats in a Chowder, the new hilarious and compelling novel by Fred J
Schneider, this certainly is true for the Sisler family, a family
flailing through a sump of their own secrets and deceptions. And who
better to guard the family’s lies than its youngest son, and newest
communicant, Robin, a Catholic surprise with a few sticky secrets of
his own.
UNSETTLED TIMES FOR ATLANTA'S MEN IN BLUE...
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: They say history repeats
itself. It certainly seems so, at least where the younger generation
is concerned. Outrageous hairstyles, unkempt fashions, an
innovative, unfamiliar vocabulary combined with a major attitude.
These words can easily describe the younger population of almost
every city and town today, but also rightly depicts the intensely
motivated communities of young people in the explosive ‘60s. In
Harold B. Goldhagen’s book, Signal 63: Officer Needs Help, we are
presented with a variety of shocking stories and disturbing secrets
of the times.
FOLLOW THIS PRESCRIPTION FOR AMAZING RESULTS!
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: The incredible plethora of diets today can confuse the heartiest of souls. Every time a new diet comes along, people jump on the bandwagon and optimistically try to lose the extra pounds that are dragging them down. More often than not, they are frustrated and discouraged by the simple fact that these diets don’t work. Although they might shed a few pounds in the beginning, it isn’t long until they find they’ve not only stopped losing weight, but might even have gained a few more pounds. Dr. Billy Johnson found himself considering the mystery, and, determined to help people, created a simple program that really works. In his book, The Prescription for Healthy Weight Loss & Optimum Health, Dr. Johnson shares his system and strategies to help people lose weight and improve the quality of their health without dieting or counting calories...
CHRONICLING THE LORDS OF THE JAGUAR
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: The Maya civilization is
noted for many accomplishments. They produced spectacular art,
monumental architecture, sophisticated mathematics and astronomical
systems, as well as the only-known, fully-developed written language
of the pre-Columbian Americas. The calendar they created was the
most sophisticated, best-documented and, in later eras, most
completely understood. These were a people of great consequence. In
his book, The Lords of the Jaguar, Greg Stallion has brought a piece
of history to life.

WRITER'S DIGEST UPDATES
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: It’s officially autumn—that breezy, beautiful time of year that screams for haunted hayrides, carved pumpkins and spiced cider. But, while you’re basking in the changing and falling leaves, don’t forget to submit your entries to several WD contests that have deadlines fast approaching. If you write short stories or poems, we have your perfect competition...
Cry WaterColors, and Indulge in the Composition
Fort
Lauderdale, October 2006:
Life’s tribulations, Oscar Wilde suggested, are best when less spoken about;
whereas the color, the beauty and the joy of life should be the focus of our
sympathy. But what becomes of a man who withdraws from the distinction? Can
the balance of his life be safeguarded by transposing his own passions onto
the characters he writes about?
THE BEAUTY OF LETTING THE LOTUS BLOOM
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: Insight comes to us all in varied ways. Some find it in relationships, some in prayer or meditation and some in the planet’s beauty. Kevin Joel Kelly finds wisdom in Nature’s flamboyant gift of magnificent flowers and in the creation of artful flower arrangements. He eloquently conveys his views to us in his wonderful book, Letting the Lotus Bloom, the Expression of Soul through Flowers. This book is indisputably a ‘don’t miss!’
BEWARE OF THE STRANGE LIBERATORS
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: No matter what your political affiliations are; whether you are right, left, somewhere in the middle, or even if you have none at all, this book is too important to ignore. It may not be easy to face these issues, but if you are an honest human being you will find the harrowing accounts in Gregory Elich’s Strange Liberators essential to understanding today’s world.
GIVING THOUGHT FOR FOOD...
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: Have you ever
meticulously followed a diet and achieved your goal weight, only
then to fall off the tracks? Have you stood on your scales and
helplessly watched the pounds return? Have you ever wondered why you
so easily throw away the fruits of your efforts? You are not alone.
Do you want to take charge of your life and successfully achieve
your goals? In her new book, Thought for Food: Overcoming Emotional
Eating, Suki Garson gives us the ways and means to conquer this
destructive behavior... RESERVE YOUR COPY OF THE 75TH ANNUAL COMPETITION COLLECTION!
FORT LAUDERDALE, October 2006: With all the amazing entrees submitted last year, this collection is an absolute most have!
WRITER'S DIGEST POETRY COMPETITION
FORT LAUDERDALE, November 2006: We're pleased to announce the only WD competition exclusively for poets, the Writer's Digest Poetry Awards! Regardless of style—rhyming, free verse, haiku and more—if your poems are 32 lines or fewer, we want them all. Submit your entries by the December 20, 2006 deadline ... and your words could be worth cold hard cash!
