As for copyrighting, you will need to copyright your own work. As mentioned in my post, you are technically copyrighting your work as soon as it is written, but registering that copyright is usually a good idea. Whether or not you choose to register, and if you choose to register then when in the process you register, is up to you. I hope that helps. Nick Annie,

Thank you for your time. Annie H. Hi Nick,

I was considering using Lulu to publish my manuscript for a Children’s Story Book but I was wondering, should I apply for a copyright and an ISBN # for my work before using Lulu or is that a service that Lulu already provides for its customers?

Thank you for your time.

After listening to user input, we decided to discontinue the option for "Live Help" customer support via text chat as of 1/15/09. Moving forward, we will be placing a larger emphasis on our direct customer support via email, which we have found to be the most efficient and effective way to address our customers' needs. Our efforts in this area include more user-friendly contact forms which will direct your query to the appropriate support specialist, shorter turn-around times, and staffing our support team with in-house experts. We would like to assure you that Lulu is committed to offering you the highest level of user support while maintaining a free-to-publish service. Throughout 2009, we pledge to continue improving our site, making it easier than ever to use while by providing richer, more useful information in our Help section, including in-depth site tutorials. We feel confident that this change will have minimal impact on you during the transition, and we hope it only improves the level of support you’ve come to expect from us. In the future, if you have any formatting or technical issues, then we recommend reviewing our improved Help section. If your issue deals with an order, printing, or one of the services we offer, please send your question to customer support at http://www.lulu.com/help/email_support.php We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Lulu.com.

Glad you liked the post. Mel, You will need to get your work into an electronic file to use our site. If you have questions about this, I recommend you post them to our forums. Dave, I'm not sure what the issue there is. I tried to replicate the issue, but the Services tab showed up for me even when I switched to the UK site. You might try reporting the issue here: http://www.lulu.com/help/email_support.php Thanks, Nick Holly,
