Here are the latest news about Lulu:
2024. Self-publishing platform Lulu integrates with website builder Wix
Ebook self-publishing platform Lulu has integrated with the Wix website builder. Now authors can quickly connect their Wix sites to Lulu Direct, allowing them to directly sell books, track orders and manage them. Of course, Wix doesn’t have such extensive plugin choice as Shopify or the endless customization options as WordPress, but its simplicity makes it the perfect tool for book authors creating websites without knowing HTML
2022. Lulu unveiled new Cover Designer
Self-publishing platform Lulu has introduced a new tool for designing paper-book covers. Authors who are familiar with Photoshop or InDesign prefer to create covers themselves, but the new cover maker offers an easier alternative. For example, it can be useful for those who create gift-books, pre-release books for beta readers or just aspiring authors publishing their first book. The tool automatically calculates cover width and height and is compatible with all Lulu book sizes (but it is best suited for regular paperback books). The visual designer provides several basic tools, including templates, the ability to upload and position images, text boxes with the ability to customize fonts and alignment, simple graphic shapes and the ability to add an ISBN barcode.
