How do I get my manuscripts from drafts to ebooks on Lulu?

I am going crazy trying to figure out how to get my 2 drafts into ebook status on Lulu! Can someone PLEASE tell me how to do this. This site is a little to complex for me to figure it out and darn hard to get anyone's attention. Thank You, Ronald R Milazzo

Re: How do I get my manuscripts from drafts to ebooks on Lulu?

Since they changed things I haven't taken a look to see if it's any different than it was when you just choose ebook, upload your file(in a Lulu accepted format) and go from there. I'll run through it to see if it has changed much.
It looks like you choose ebook format, fill in title, author, upload your file in a format they accept(Word Doc, RTF, PDF, etc), make sure your file is the same size as the ebook you are making(that option is on the bottom of the page after you upload your file), then you cover to cover where you can make your cover. The review page for all your options is last. Where you can set price, etc. At the top right of the page is the new choice for rights or something. Where you can have the ebook protected. There is a .99 per download fee for that that is figured into the cost. That seems to be optional though.
Have you looked through the new ebook FAQ page?

First you've posted into a 2 year old discussion.
Second you haven't told us the details of the problem you're having!

Is there a set up cost for the ebook, or does all Lulu revenue come through the sale of the book?

 

Also, what is the cost for converting to EPUB, and can this be done from a word document (and does it require double spacing?)

No and yes.

None and you can't.

You can use my services or those Maggie offers to convert it for you.

...and a final No.
