Staten Island, NY (PRWEB) May 11, 2004 --Publishing is small business!

No longer the territory of the literati or the Trumps, publishing is now a tool of empowerment.

The American pioneer spirit is alive and well at lulu.com, a self publishing site where a novice can not only publish their own novel, but can offer countless other business services. Every author or artist is at heart a small business owner, but the tools work for other fields as well.

Just ask Donna Turello, writer and small business owner of An Enchanted Letter (enchantedenterprises.com). After five years of selling personalized letters from Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Christmas Angel, and the Tooth Fairy, I wrote the book! Im still amazed at my own evolution." Everything You Need to Know to Start a Santa Letter Writing Business, is now on sale at lulu.com/santaletterguide.

I used lulu to publish my book, my way, then I realized the potential to enhance sales of the letters. I love the positive feedback from recipients of my letters; I dont want to give that up. Besides, since I donate one dollar from the sale of each letter to charity, I feel Im making a difference. Lulu allows me to expand, yet save time and resources, by allowing me to offer electronic downloads for my do it yourself customers, in addition to a print version of the book.
