Author & Publishing FAQs

How do I become an author on the platform?

Authors can register for a Vendor (Author) account, complete store setup, connect their Stripe account for payouts, and submit books for review.

What is the process for publishing my book?

After registration, authors can upload their manuscript and cover files, select book format (hardcover, paperback, or eBook), and submit for approval. We then map it to Lulu Direct for POD printing and fulfillment.

How are royalties handled?

Royalties are automatically calculated and distributed via Stripe Connect at checkout. Authors don’t need to manually invoice or wait for batch payments.

Can I also sell courses or merchandise?

Yes. In addition to books, authors can sell digital downloads, online courses (via LMS), and merchandise through integrations with Printful/Printify.

Do authors get access to customer data?

Yes. Unlike closed marketplaces, we share buyer data (per privacy policy) so authors can engage their readers, build communities, and grow their audience.
