Kid Publishing

There’s a reason so many kids come to Lulu.com to publish books, calendars, CDs and artwork: Because they can. Really, really easily.

They can take all those wild, serious, poetic and incredible ideas out of their heads and use Lulu’s super-simple tools to put them down on professionally printed pages. And then turn right around and share those creations with whoever they want – one person, a few favorite people or the whole wide world.

Sound cool? Good – because you could be next.

Now, we can’t promise that your parents won’t want to have a say. (They probably will, and they probably should.) But other than that, you’re free to let your imagination run wild.

Your talent. Our tools. Wow!

Let’s say you want to create a book.

Is it a storybook with drawings?

A “how to” book that teaches other kids to do something you do really well – like skateboarding, winning video games or training your dog?

A photo album with pictures you’ve taken and pictures from our big image library?

Dolphin book

A book of poems?

A biography?

A sort-of made-up story based on something that really happened? (That’s what 10-year-old McKenna Andrews did – and she’s won awards, been written up in magazines, even got praise from the President!)

Now that your creative juices are flowing, you’re ready to bring your idea to life. It’s easy – we’ve got all the tools right here to help you format everything just the way you want. Plus, you get to pick the size you want your book to be, how many pages it has, what the binding looks like… it’s all up to you.

Ready, set, create!

So, now that you know how cool Lulu is, what’s stopping you from joining all the other creative kids who are making stuff – and selling it? We can’t think of anything aside from a grownup’s permission. Once you have that, go ahead and get busy.

  • When it's time to sell:

    First, you decide how much you want to sell your creation for – and how much you want to earn every time you make a sale.

    If you want to keep it kind of private, you can let just the people you choose know about your new creation.

    If you want to give lots of people the chance to see, and maybe buy, your book, calendar or CD, you can have it automatically listed for sale on the Lulu Marketplace – a great big shopping site that attracts more than 700,000 visitors a week.

    And if you want to give even more people the chance to see it, you (and your parents, of course), can take the next big step and get your own official ISBN – the number that makes your masterpiece available to 60,000 stores, libraries and schools around the world.
