New to Lulu

Not sure how this works. Is there any limit on the number of words in an Ebook? Have a novel finishing soon probably will end up at 60,000 words. I could go to the paperback way but how much money up front for the paper back version?

Thanking you for your kind co-operation in this matter. Hal Hickton.

Re: New to Lulu

No, but you should have asked in the ebook section of the forum.
Lulu is free. It's only paid for when a book is bought, by you (at cost) or a customer (at cost + your profit).
It does help to read the site ...

No problem, it's a mistake getting more and more common and it makes it hard to reply via subject.

Re: New to Lulu

I did look at that section yesterday. Apparently 500MB is maximum upload. Will have to re-read the whole site. Prefer paperback. Again, thanks. You folks beat out PublishAmerica by a long way! If I am not allowed to say that delete this post.

500mb is vast. The docx file for a large novel is perhaps around 1000k.
Images can add a lot, but 500mb is still massive :-)

BTW: I am not Staff. Those who help in the forums are users just like you. We have only just managed to get Lulu to get some Staff here to help us to reply!

Re: New to Lulu

Approx., 1000k = 1mb. Approx., 1000mb = 1Gb :-)

Re: New to Lulu

Appreciate the help. Last novel I wrote was 20 years or more back. Canada publishers said it was too violent for them. Got an agent in New York. Al Fierst. No one wanted it. Crown and others. 9 months later there was a TV movie that was identical. But again I suppose that happens often.
