Lulu.com Introduces a New Print on Demand Platform that Gives Independent Authors Unmatched Flexibility and Control
RALEIGH,
NC – April 15, 2014 – Lulu.com, the pioneer in independent publishing, today announced
a new print on demand platform to streamline the self-publishing process and
create new opportunities for authors to increase their earning potential. The new
solution for print books provides authors unparalleled flexibility and control--enabled
by a simplified user experience, reduced pricing and innovative print on demand
technology.
“The
authors who publish on Lulu.com are as varied as their works, and providing advanced
solutions that are as unique as they are is another step we are taking to better
serve each of them,” said Shawn Barber, vice president, product development.
“By allowing authors to quickly and easily choose nearly every aspect of a
book’s overall composition, including how the books are printed, they’ll benefit
from a reduced time to market for their latest creations and see cost
reductions that can be used to price their works more competitively or pass
savings on to their readers.”
The expanded
range of new options provides the ability to personalize books to meet a wider variety
of needs. Lulu.com offers three exclusive print on demand book formats – Premium,
Standard and Value. Each of these formats offers unique advantages.
· Premium:
hard cover books with dust jacket option; photo quality color or black &
white interior; image wrap or case wrap with linen color options; white or
cream paper options
· Standard:
soft cover books available with perfect bound, coil or saddle stitched binding;
bookstore quality color or black & white interior
· Value:
soft cover books available as perfect bound only; color or black & white
interior
“This
new platform encompasses the broadest range of book formats available to the independent
author,” said Barber. “To make the author’s job of choosing what’s right for
them as easy as possible, we’ve created
a free Book Builder tool to guide them through the book creation process. Our commitment to making
authors successful is strengthened by the increased flexibility, variety and
control we now offer.”
