My friend and I had a wonderful idea for a calender. Does anyone know how to go about getting a calender published? We know that it will be a bestseller if it is ever offered to the market, but we have no idea about where to get started.
Any advice?

I published a calendar last December at lulu.com where I also publish my books for free. Go visit the site and check if you you deem it good for you. I don't have money and that was my big problem until I accidentally saw the promo of lulu.
I am a Christian, a child of God, baptized into Christ on October 1, 1989 and I belong to the Church of Christ founded and headed by Christ as shown in Acts Chapter 2. I am given the gift of knowledge and understanding Bible Greek and I translate the Word of God from Greek to
English PLAINLY - Greek word into its English equivalent with additional words for grammar purposes written in italics so that readers may delete them as the wish.
I have already published THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), GENESIS & EXODUS (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, GREEK-ENGLISH (Grammar & Vocabulary), WORDS in THE WILL New Testament, and others shown at http://www.lulu.com/arseniajoaquin
Try visiting lulu. It's free, no set up fees, no buyng required, and they extend a lot of help to those who do not yet know the how-to's.

Thank you for the link to your works. I am going to check them out. It is great to hear that others are finding success with Lulu.com. How do you market your work? If you don't mind me asking. God Bless.

to arseniajoaquin This is a very helpful information to those who dream to publish. Even poor people can now be published authors. Yes, apparently lulu.com is a great help to you. I hope to publish something someday also. May God continue to bless you.

If you are interested in self publishing there is a site called Lulu. http://www.lulu.com
You can also sell your calender from the site. It is pretty amazing. You set the price even. I am looking into self publishing a book through the site, so I don't know much about the calender end, other than they do them. I hope this helps you out some, or maybe guides you to locate somewhere that will help.

You are very welcome. I too am thinking about using Lulu for a couple of different projects and then just marketing them on my own. Let me know how the calender comes out...I may buy one. Thank you also for best response. I appreciate it very much.

I have never published a calendar myself, but I did look into in a few years ago. If I remember correctly, one of the better places for pricing was printingforless.com so you might want to look into that.
I do remember that most calendars are complete and being sold to retailers in the late summer/early fall. So, you might want to keep that time issue in the back of your mind.
