PUBLISHING SERVICES

Publication

All books are published and available for sale on lulu.com.

We’ve been busy behind the scenes at Written Out Loud, and we have recently updated our book prices. The price of all group books will be $10 (reduced from $15), and solo novelist books (Young and Adult Novelist) will be $15 (reduced from $29) plus shipping.

In all programs, prices may be higher for longer books.

All storytellers who complete the program can submit their manuscripts by the end of the program year for publication at no additional cost.

  • Late Submission Fee

    All storytellers must submit their manuscripts by the end of the program year. Submissions after this deadline will incur a $100 publishing fee.

  • Republishing Fee

    If a storyteller requests updates to their manuscript after it has been submitted and initial work has started, a $100 republishing fee will apply.

Global Distribution

Global Distribution

For books co-authored in our team storytelling classes, lulu.com is the only platform currently available for additional purchasing. Books written in our Young and Adult Novelist programs are also available by default through Lulu. Written Out Loud will publish your book on Amazon, as well as other online booksellers for an administrative fee. This is achieved through Lulu’s “Global Distribution” process. Important details about this process can be found with the link: https://help.lulu.com/en/support/solutions/articles/64000255456-global-distribution-faq. The fee will be $100 if WOL is notified prior to initial publication (i.e. while they are taking the program). The book will be available on Amazon and major retailers about 4-6 weeks after publication or purchase of Global Distribution. If the request is made after the book is initially published through Lulu, the cost will be $150.
Note: even if you choose Global Distribution, the book will still be printed and shipped by Lulu. However, your storyteller’s name and book title will receive their own purchase page on Amazon, as well as Barnes & Noble and other online booksellers. Your child’s name, as the book’s author, and book title will be searchable and findable on Amazon, and other online retailers.

Independent Publishing

Independent Publishing

If you wish to publish, distribute electronically, or republish your WOL novel through other platforms yourself, WOL can provide a digital copy of your work to allow you to do this for $50. Electing to pursue this option will allow you and your storyteller to earn royalties from your book. If you pursue this path of self distribution, Written Out Loud will not publish your book on lulu.com. As the owner of the book, you may edit and alter the book contents however you wish. However, if you use the book cover we created for you as part of your Written Out Loud program, please include the following credit:
