I think the first step in your journey should be uploading your book and publishing it here on Lulu. Hi James, I’m glad you found us!

However, if I've learned something specific about them and their interest - perhaps that they are interested in writing as well - then I will add a more unique line like "Looking forward to your own book." When I've met another author at a group signing, I will try to include some bit of our conversation in the note to make it more memorable. Thanks for asking.

It's wonderful that you offer signed books through your site. Do you have any pointers for other authors on how to best personalize your book? Thanks for commenting, Elmore!

I offer signed copies through my website,;it would be nice if there was a method to do that directly through Lulu.
