Self-Publishing Through Lulu: Uploading and Converting Your Files
For the purpose of this exercise, I’m going to upload a public domain ebook to convert into a “book.” Look at the screenshot, where you’ll notice links to Lulu’s Services Marketplace. Also, look at the very bottom of the screenshot. You can back up at any time before you hit “Publish” to edit your information or to upload another file.
Click Upload File from My PC, click the Browse button, select your file, and click Upload. Depending upon your Internet connection, the upload time shouldn’t take more than five minutes for a 3MB file. If you find that uploading directly from the interface takes too long, Lulu has another FTP option that you can use.
Before you upload, make sure that your file size is set to 6 x 9. To do that, go to Page Setup in Word and choose Custom size.
Once you have your file uploaded, click Save and Continue.
The next screen involves your binding option. More on that later.
