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 up checkout.

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 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 have 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 to 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.

What Should I Do if I Receive Spam From a Lulu Account or Suspect Other Abuse of a Lulu Account?

If a Lulu account sends you spam or if at any time you suspect someone is abusing a Lulu account, please bring this behavior to our attention using our Email Support Form.


Some examples of account abuse include the following:

  • Someone is accessing your account without your permission
  • Sending spam with links to Lulu storefronts or products

What Account Type Should I Select?

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 the 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.
