You've seen their names on the shelves of the local bookstore: Francine Rivers, Beth Moore, Tom Clancy, Rick Warren, Tim LeHaye, etc. You've seen biographies about D.L. Moody, Corrie Ten Boom, and the Hudson Twins.

However, other POD publishers out there such as Lulu and Createspace do not require upfront fees, and therefore open the door to the publishing world to literally anyone with access to a computer and the Internet!
