Publish

Overview

Things you'll need to make your book:

You'll need your manuscript for the inside of your book (we recommend a PDF or Word document), and images or a PDF for the cover.

Steps you'll go through:

1. Give your project a working title and tell us whether it's public or private
2. Choose the "look" of your book
3. Upload your manuscript for the inside of your book
4. Lulu converts your manuscript into the interior pages of your book
5. Make your cover in our cover-creator or upload the one-piece cover you've made yourself
6. Add a description, license, copyright, language, etc. to inform customers about your book
7. Review what you have put together
8. If you don't have a Lulu.com account, you'll have to create one to finish publishing your book

Start a New Project

What you are doing in this step:

In this step you'll give your project a working title and decide whether it's just for you or if you want to sell it to the world. All of these options can be changed at any time.

What do the choices mean?

• Keep it private and accessible only to me
  You can change this later if you decide to sell
• Make it public to sell in the Lulu Marketplace
• Make it public and assign an ISBN to your title to sell your book in online bookstores like Amazon as well as the Lulu Marketplace.
