I appreciate the effort to encourage greater sales and marketing. Our publications have been directed toward non-profit charities with an emphasis toward providing an alternative venue for the aspiring writer. It’s not always easy to generate sales. This option is helpful. Thanks
Is there a contest for poetry on lulu.com
This is great! Let the games begin!
Why isn’t every category included?
I had hoped to find here the current standings for the April Contest. Since my book website only shows how many hits the site is viewed and does not tell me how many copies are sold, I pose this question to the help desk…and alas, I have not the slightest idea how nearly 1-year’s work is doing.

I’ve been working on a poem for 50 years, it is more then 500 pages, would love to see a poetry contest….
I’ve worked for the US Government for 31 years, I don’t agree with all the business processes we currently use or are having forced upon us. I see many that are considered as a waste to the taxpayer such as Lean Six Sigma, so I wrote about it and have it listed on LULU, can we have a focus on saving the taxpayer contest?
I too came here looking for current contest standings, as per the LuLu link I clicked. Nothing here. Kinda weak guys….

My sales on children books been slow.
When will the March winners be posted? I thought they were supposed to be posted on the 15th?
Thanks!
Sorry for the delay all. We’ll have an update on current standings for you shortly.
I think you should also have a seperate category for Childrens Books as they are sort of in a league of their own.
Also…how about a cover art contest for children’s picture books?
Sure would be nice if you posted the categories before we joined the contest. There isn’t even a category for my book to fall into. Kind of a waste of time for me.
