Custom book
We’ll write the novel you cannot find.
Tell us the idea. We write the whole book: a full-length novel of roughly 70 000 words with an original cover, edited and reviewed to the same standard as every title in our catalogue, and shaped from the first page to the last around what you asked for.
Yours arrives at this standard: a finished cover, a full novel, the same review every book in our store passes.
Could not reach us. Nothing was lost, so try again shortly.
Physical delivery is available only to destinations for which Shopify checkout presents a Lulu-supported delivery service.
Your choices
English
Add any of our languages for US$10,00 each. Every edition is the complete novel, prepared for that language.
Choose at least one language.
Printed and delivered to you once your book is ready. Delivery is added at checkout.
Your story
One paragraph or ten, both work. It can be a single image you cannot shake, or the premise you have been carrying around for years.
Whatever you have: who it is about, where it happens and what goes wrong. The more of it you give us, the closer the book lands to the one in your head.
Tell us something about the story you want.
Optional. One per line: names, and who they are to each other.
Optional. Themes, tropes or content you would rather we kept out.
