RALEIGH, NC—(Marketwired – April 28, 2015) – The world's fastest book has been published and sold on Lulu.comâ„¢, the pioneer in independent publishing. “Artenzola” by Kia Allen had only 40 minutes of time pass between the moment when she registered as an author on Lulu.com until the time she published her paperback book and saw her first sales.
“I had no idea being published could be so fast and it has inspired me to write more,” said Allen. “Lulu.com's platform is a great way for any writer to publish their books, and I look forward to using Lulu.com as I finish more novels.”
The publisher of “Artenzola” is McKinnon Press, which was founded by Stuart Albright in 2005 to promote the work of young writers in Durham, NC. “Artenzola” is set in a dimension where people are born with a magical purpose and it is Allen's first novel.
“At Lulu.com, we help authors and publishers share their stories with the world — quickly, easily and profitably,” said Dan Dillon, vice president of marketing at Lulu. “Knowing that we have the fastest book published and sold under our belts is exciting, but it is also a testament to the power of our platform. We empower authors to reach readers and start selling books in minutes, versus traditional publishing where the process can take years.”
