I want to announce a major addition to Self-Publishing Review: Mick Rooney’s self-publisher reviews (print on demand outfits, subsidy publishers, printers) are now housed on the site. He’s really the best writer on this subject working online, so it’s a great boon to the site.
This is Mick Rooney’s Independent Publishing Magazine’s Publishing Services Index updated October 2011, grading publishing services from best to worst.
(KEY)
DIY – Do-it-yourself services
ASS – Author Solutions Services (Packages)
PUB – Also Offers Mainstream Contracts
PRT – Printer
FULL – Fulfillment Services provided

Henry, thank you adding Mick Rooney’s self-publisher reviews on the SPR website. Regarding the index included in this post, I have to say I enjoyed working with Lulu my first time around. Other first-time independent writers should consider them. But for many of us who can figure it out I think it’s clear Amazon’s CreateSpace is the way to go.
