It's great to get a book out, but marketing it so that people actually buy the thing is the major challenge. Getting stuff in print is only a small part of the battle these days.

I wonder how long they retain the publishing rights if you use their service. They typeset and print your book for free if it sells?

Anyone can publish a book and not pay for books that don't sell. Well if it was something scientific, historically accurate, or something then I wouldn't want anything that had not been reviewed and edited. But if there is a good book no one will publish then this would be a chance. People could write children's stories, publish short stories and poetry, whatever. There is a large need for Afrocentric books in my opinion, especially for children. People could also publish their study tips, autobiographies, or speeches. I think I heard that in Canada writers have to find their own distribution so this would really help in places like that where its very difficult to get books published...OMG, like in poorer countries or basically anyone without money who is an excellent writer can publish a book. If its really good then word about the book will spread and the person could really earn some cash. Aren't many writers starving anyway (LOL). It would be great to get a lot of creative ideas from other countries. Maybe lesson plans and instruction manuals can be printed cheaply too so that there will be a how-to book on everything under the sun. Fantastic! OMG that is amazing!!!
