Unfortunately, it's true that few authors get published, and even those who do get little if any promotion support from the publisher. So you are still responsible for your own PR. Even if you did get published, you'd make about $1/book sold. So publish yourself, you gotta do your own marketing anyway, and keep more of the money.
any problems with lulu so far? i tried booksurge, but heard bad things about booksurge.
