Friend,
No one should pay a dime to publish these days. Your money would be better used advertising on TD and FB. TD naturally would be your target audience, and FB has some of the most complex algorithms for advertising so I'm sure they would get your target audience.
Publish the book yourself on Amazon, and do local advertising. Don't pay these money suckers to do data entry and advertising.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

I sent a query to Pelican.
Thanks for the advice, I'm very busy and don't have a lot of time for the complete DIY publishing.
That said, I don't want to waste money and not get good results.
I appreciate your insight

I've done some self-published books that I've used lulu.com for. Some poetry, some fiction. My last one was a journal style book from the perspective of an 11 year old. In recent years I've published books with Christmas-themed poetry but went for a change of pace. No layout, nothing in mind at all besides a journal. Most fun I've had writing.
The hard part is getting people to buy the book, with a limited audience on Facebook. I have sent past book copies to my library which has gained interest from people knowing about the book, and buying their own, so that helps. Though other than spellcheck issues I haven't cared much to edit my past few books.
