Currently, only Lulu books that have an ISBN will show up on weRead, but we are working with them to have tighter integration in the future. Unfortunately, we can't give you an exact time frame on that yet, but it's definitely high on our priority list. Once some of these initiatives have been implemented, we will be continuing our series of posts focusing on weRead. I wanted to give everyone a quick update on weRead.

Thanks for all of the interest in weRead. Nick and I are working on a few how-tos on how to create great author pages and how to link to your books. Stay tuned for that post. In the mean time keep sending in these great questions and we hope to give you the answers you're looking for. Hey Everybody! Thanks for all of the interest in weRead.

Those just sold on lulu have to be manually entered. Mine are distributed and they were already on weRead so I didn't have to appload them myself. I added them to my library list but I can't figure out how to add the Written Books section to my author page (as other authors have it). Even when I search for myself under the authors tab I am not found. If anyone can help that'd be great.

Once this is done there is a link below your profile info section (left side where your name and pic is) that says create author page... it takes you to that section. Now, my question is... my novel does not appear in the search, as the help section says it will if lulu... i had to add my title manually. However, now i cannot link my title to my author page. ANY HELP on this, nick? thanks barbara To post an author page… first create reg profile.

]]> Comment on Tips & Tricks: Book Previews - Entice your Reader without Even Trying by Yanyara http://lulublog.com/2008/08/12/tips-tricks-book-previews/#comment-4021 Yanyara Fri, 15 Aug 2008 21:41:32 +0000 http://lulublog.com/?p=111#comment-4021 You could call me a very satisfied Lulu customer. Having said that, I wish to bring to Lulu's attention the folliwng. Whether it's in a brick and mortar store or online, book buyers love to browse ( it's half the fun) before they pick a book at the end of it. I find Lulu's PREVIEW THIS BOOK button could use some improvement. 1. Whether one accesses the book through BUY button, Storefront or Content page, al three of them must have clear indication as to how to preview the book. Authors take a lot of trouble to provide the preview and I think it should be accessible easily and instantly without searching all over. 2.Perhaps it will be a good idea to direct folks to Content page, from Storefront or BUY page by clearling putting PREVIEW THIS BOOK button just below the TITLE BUTTON. 3. Once on the content page, I feel PREVIW THIS BOOK button which is visible after scroll, must be moved up to top left side, perhaps along with al other buttons in the group such as REVIEWS, BACK COVER etc. 4. There is a Preview option without hitting the PREVIEW THIS BOOK button at bottom left, but that requires scrolling sideways and isn't a great way to impress a prospect. May I suggest that that preview be replaced by the Front Cover Picture and PREVIEWTHS BOOK button placed just above the Pic, which would lead to the full page PREVIEW page as you have now. 5. The Preview page is fine, it's just access to it that is troubling. I bet many prospects get tired of looking and leave the page. Would appreciate comment from LULU power posters.
