Why do I have to give my email address to use Lulu?


Your email address is unique and is easy for you to remember. It is also your Lulu sign in ID and will only be used to keep your publishing projects secure and to send you order confirmation when you make purchases. Used with a Lulu password, your email also speeds check out.


What should my password be?


When you create a password, pick something that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess. A mix of upper- and lower-case letters and numbers is considered a good password.


  • Your password must be at least 6 characters and cannot contain any spaces. We suggest you use a combination of letters and numbers.
  • You can use some special characters (such as & # or _ ). You may not use < or >.
  • Passwords are case sensitive; for example, "SIGNINID," "SigninID," and "signinid" are not the same.

How do I change my Login Data?

Your Login Data is your email address and the password you entered when creating your Lulu Account.


To change your email address or password:


  1. Sign in to your Lulu Account with your current email and password.
  2. Click on your Name > Account Settings > Click Update Sign In Information under Login Data or Click My Account > Account Settings > Update Sign In Information under Login Data.

How do I cancel my account?

Cancelling your account is a permanent, irreversible action. Purchases you downloaded such as ebooks will no longer be available to download from your account. If you published downloadable content that has been purchased, that content will be removed from the Lulu Bookstore and will no longer be available for purchase; however, a copy will remain on our servers so that previous buyers can continue to download it from their Lulu account. Please, review our Privacy Policy for more information about how Lulu collects and uses your Data.


Please Note: If you have published projects in your Lulu account, your projects will be retired. If your books are sold through Lulu’s Global Distribution network, we will notify retail sites to discontinue sales of your books.


Lulu reserves the right to continue supplying ebooks you made available for download to purchasers who bought them prior to the cancellation of your account.


To cancel your account at this time, log in your account and go to My Account > Account Settings. Click on Cancel Your Account. Confirm by clicking on Cancel My Account. If you have changed your mind, click on Keep My Account.

Who do I contact regarding deceased account holders?

Please submit a ticket to the Customer Support team and attach the form found at the bottom of this article.

Why was my account disabled?

If your account was disabled or removed, the material you uploaded to Lulu was in blatant disregard of our Member Agreement. Lulu only permits distribution of your own work or work that the owner specifically granted you permission to use. Lulu will delete your content from the system if it is found to violate our Member Agreement.

When will I receive a response from a support email?

To prevent support emails from being redirected into your email spam folder, add "Lulu Support" to your spam filter white-list.


Please Note: Our goal is to respond to all support requests within 2-4 business days.

I replied to a Lulu Support email. Why haven't I received a response?


If you submitted a support email to Lulu and didn't receive an auto-response acknowledging receipt of your request, your email provider is probably blocking emails from Lulu.


There are several reasons your email provider may block Lulu emails: Lulu emails may be marked as spam, your internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking them, or your network firewall may have Lulu.com blacklisted. Please check your email settings or contact your ISP representative to find out why you are not receiving our emails.


To prevent emails from the Lulu support team from being sent to your spam folder, add "Lulu Support" to your spam filter whitelist.
