Randomly surfing the net last week I found this fantastic site that can turn your blog into an actual book. I think this is a fab idea, I would love a physical copy of my weekly ramblings. All beautifully presented in a book.The site is called Blurb, they make a wide variety of publications from blog books to cook books, photo books and poetry books. A great idea for those who would otherwise only dream of having their work published.
It just takes 3 steps to create your blog book:
1. Download their free bookmaking software 'Blurb BookSmart'
2. Add photos, artwork, and text. You have creative control.
3. Order one book or many. Prices start at just $4.95.
You even have the option to place your book in Blurb’s bookstore for fans to purchase.
I'm thinking of having some of my blog turned into a book in April as this will be my first Blogversary. I love the thought of being able to add my bagladee blogbook to my bookshelf.
What an interesting idea, thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBlurb is such a cool service -- I'm working on a family cookbook with it right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm halfway through making my first blog book at Blurb it's a long process, I warn you! I'm going to do mine in 6 month 'chunks'. x
