1.  Motivation: Unlike other print-on-demand companies, Llumina will not print any book unless it meets high editorial standards.  When a book bears the Llumina imprint, booksellers, libraries, and specialty stores know they can depend on it to be a quality work.

2.  Relationship:  We're not a giant company, and that's to your advantage.  Because we're a small press, you can deal directly with us.  We care about our writers, and want to help them not just publish books, but publish marketable books.  

3.  Purpose:  At Llumina we believe we're in partnership with our writers.  Our purpose is to stand beside our writers as they polish and finish their work.  We'll encourage you, provide useful information and constructive criticism, and be there when you need to talk. In the end, it's all about selling books, not just getting them into print.

4.  Distribution:  We know that publishing a book is just the first step.  Then what?  It takes marketing and distribution to get books out there, and Llumina is making that one of its foremost priorities.  Your book will be listed with Books in Print, Ingram Distribution and Baker and Taylor. Through these distributors, your book will be listed on Amazon, Barnes & Noble online, Alibris, Abebooks, eCampus.com, campusi.com, and many more. In addition, our distributors make your book available to 25,000 brick and mortar bookstores all over the country and the world. And we don't intend to stop there. 

5.  Marketing Opportunities:  We're constantly on the lookout for new ways to help you market your book.  Visit our Marketing Opportunities page to get an idea of what's going on now.
