“Unlock the Secrets: Which 2025 Self-Publishing Options Could Save You Hundreds?”
Ingram Spark: N/A for publishing services but…
Does not offer formatting/design services, and refers authors to a variety of third-party services for that, which cost THOUSANDS. Complaints about Ingram Spark are HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
Lulu: N/A for publishing services but…
Lulu refers authors to Limelight Publishing for services, which is located in Australia. They charge $1,900-$3,200!!!
Lulu will still print and list your book, of course, but…
- At the Better Business Bureau, their customer rating is only 1.57 OUT OF 5 STARS.
- There have been 36 COMPLAINTS in just the past 3 years.
ALERT: Lulu is in partnership with Author Solutions. (See the Archway Publishing listing near the top of this page for more about that firm.)
