About Lulu

Lulu is a print-on-demand self-publishing platform where authors, creators and businesses print and sell custom books, photo books, calendars, magazines and ebooks, backed by its own bookstore and retail distribution.

The publishing tools cost nothing, so the real bill is the per-book printing price from the pricing calculator plus shipping, and bulk orders are where Lulu's own discounts cut that figure.

Lulu was founded by Bob Young, who built it after traditional publishers proved out of reach for his own book following Red Hat's 1999 IPO. The company says it went live in 2002 as the first self-publishing platform on the web, opened the Lulu Bookstore in 2004, added print partners in France, Canada and the UK starting in 2010, and launched its Print API in 2017. It became a Certified B Corporation in 2016 and states that its office runs on 100% renewable energy.

For businesses, Lulu Direct connects storefronts on Shopify, Wix and WooCommerce to automated printing and fulfillment, and a Direct Buy Button lets authors sell from a newsletter or website. Print formats include comic books, cookbooks, coloring books, yearbooks and children's books, and the company hosts the Publish & Prosper podcast.

How long does Lulu shipping take?

How to use a Lulu promo code

  1. The Lulu pages checked for this store do not describe where a promo code is entered, so no field location is given here.
  2. What a code can reduce is clear, though: an order total is the calculator's per-book printing price plus the shipping that appears in the cart after an address goes in.
  3. No account sign-up offer is stated.
  4. For a run of 500 copies or more, pricing goes through the sales team instead of the standard cart, which makes a quote more relevant than a code.
  5. Ebooks cannot be refunded, and content or formatting mistakes are not grounds for a refund on print books either, so proofing the file before paying protects the saving.

More ways to save at Lulu

  • Bulk pricing is the lever Lulu names outright: discounts apply to bulk orders, and 500-unit runs move to a conversation with the sales team.
  • Because the tools cost nothing, an EPUB or PDF ebook can be created free and sold through Lulu's bookstore or retail sites, with no printing or postage involved.
  • Authors sending copies abroad can use printers in six countries, though recipients pay any duties and taxes, and orders to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico should allow extra transit time.
