For my Canadian peeps I have a giveaway for you!
{Sorry US/International folks}
Have you ever wanted to publish your own book? Create a special family cookbook or family memories journal? A children's story? Instagram photo collection?
Well Blurb books is a fabulous service where you can do just that.
The possibilities are endless. I can't wait to create something!
Blurb.com is an innovative publishing platform that makes it easy to design and publish professional-quality books.
When I say books, I mean anything from a photo book outlining your last vacation to a full-blown novel. Blurb is especially useful for creative types who are storytellers by nature because it enables you to customize every last square inch of your book. From the photography to the fonts, the design is entirely up to you.
You can really do anything: design your own comic book or graphic novel, write your own cookbook, write a novel, publish your portfolio, create custom educational books for your kids, and of course, tell the story of your wedding or vacation. Plus so much more. Please take a look at some of these, I think you’ll see how impressive the results actually are.
With Blurb, there are three ways to design your book http://www.blurb.com/make/:
1. PDF to Book gives professional users full creative reign over the bookmaking process, offering blank Adobe® InDesign® templates
2. Booksmart makes it very easy and lays out a template for you
3. Bookify lets you unleash your creativity from cover to cover
