Global distribution? We've got your number right here.

Lulu gives you access to the fastest and most extensive distribution system available anywhere - and at the same time, lets you maintain complete control over everything from how much your work costs to where it gets listed. Self-publishing doesn't get much better than that.

The Secret Weapon: Published By You. (ISBN)

With Lulu's unique Published By You service, you literally become your own publisher. For a small fee (see pricing chart), you receive a distribution package that includes an ISBN (an internationally recognized identification code), and open the door to the widest audience of potential buyers - a global market that there's simply no other way of reaching.

Here's how we make it easy for people to find your book:

Your book is listed with major global book industry databases. These listings lead directly and automatically to tens of thousands of retailers, online and off - among them Amazon.com, Borders, and Barnes & Noble, Inc. - not to mention thousands of schools, universities and library systems on four continents.

And how do you get started?

First, make sure you have an eligible item - visit your My Projects page and look for a link next to your item that says, "Purchase a Distribution Package." If it's there, you're eligible; just click on that link to get started. (And if that link isn't there? Check out our Help section for some common reasons your work might not be eligible.)

Published By Lulu Distribution Service

If you want to sell your book in a country that doesn't yet have Published By You, don't worry. You can receive many of the same benefits through our Published By Lulu service, which is also available through your My Projects page.
