What fomatting or layout services does Lulu offer?

You are responsible for the formatting and layout of your work before you publish it on Lulu.

If you need help with these pre-publishing tasks, Lulu offers some design, editing, ISBN, marketing, and other great services. These Lulu Services are available as the Starter Pack, Advantage Pack, Marketing Pack, or as Individual Services. Lulu also has the Lulu Services Marketplace where independent service providers are vying for your attention.

In addition you can peruse the Lulu Forums where our expert users provide many tips and tricks for preparing your manuscript. Search the Help on the site for the answers to your questions before posting to the forums though.

I just purchased a Lulu Service, what now?

If you purchased a Service Pack, a form should have come up with information we need to get started on your book. If a form did not appear please email us. If you purchased an Individual Service, you should be receiving a "Welcome!" email shortly. This email will ask for some details; just respond and we can begin the work for you.

Don’t worry! Just send us an email with your Order # and what needs to be changed and we will take care of the rest.
