What Does Success Mean To You?
For some, success can mean selling a copy of your book to someone you’ve never met, or maybe success means seeing your grandmother’s recipes in print or being able to quit your day job and do what you love. We at Lulu know that success means something different to each of us, and we want to know what success means to you!

Tell us!
Create a video clip up to 30 seconds in length and tell us what success means to you. We’ll cut all the submissions together and create a video showcasing our wonderful Lulus! You get a chance to tell the world what success means to you!

Here’s what you need to do:
  1. Create a 30-second (or less) video clip (.mov file)
  2. Tell us what success means to you
  3. Upload the video file
  4. Upload a photo of yourself 

It's that easy! Now go get your camera ready and tell us what success means to you. But hurry, we stop accepting submissions November 9th.

It's No Trick, These Lulu Books Are A Treat! 
 
Wicked Karnival Halloween Horror
by various authors

Wicked Karnival magazine presents a striking collection of Halloween fiction and poetry by some of horror's finest talents. Featuring a forward and story by Rick Hautala, an essay by James Newman, and new fiction by Graham Masterton, William Gagliani, and James A. Moore, this illustrated volume will certainly become a holiday classic.

A dark mansion on the shore of the Hudson River. A secret past. Voices whispering to him from empty rooms. These and other mysteries await twelve-year-old Seth Porter when he moves into Blystone Manor, a house no one dares to enter on Halloween night. Suddenly Seth knows what it means to be afraid--and what it means to face his fear. Will he discover what haunts the mansion the locals call the Halloween House ... or will he end up trapped there for eternity, like the ghosts that wander the halls at night?
