Lulu coupon code: 15% off printing your books
For the longest time I wanted to try Lulu, but their specs were limited to 6″ x 9″, and none of my books are those dimensions.
So when I needed to print ARCs ASAP for my latest book, I was pleasantly surprised to see they have a lot of variety available, including the 5″ x 8″ cream-stock paperback I needed. And they were the fastest option available, as compared to IngramSpark, BookVault, and Barnes & Noble (which is really just IngramSpark). My book wasn’t out yet so no way to get a KDP print copy without the ugly “Not for resale” banner.
When I reached the Lulu checkout and saw that they accepted coupon codes, I looked in the deals and discounts available through my Alliance of Independent Authors membership, and sure enough there was a 15% off coupon!

That would be huge savings especially if you were filling your garage with books to sell direct at shows or on, say, your Shopify store.
Here’s how to get your own custom Lulu coupon code to save 15% on printing your books.
Step 1: Click here to join the Alliance of Independent Authors.
This isn’t free, but with the help of the Lulu coupon code, membership quickly pays for itself.
It would be worth it just to support all they do for independent authors, such as standing up for indies during the “Audiblegate” scandal, their private Facebook community, their podcast, their self-publishing guides, and their Watchdog Desk, which weeds out the scammers from the useful self-publishing services and literary awards.
They also helped me big time when my book was blocked by Amazon and I couldn’t reach a human. I seriously would have been out of luck without them.
The many coupons ALLi has, especially this Lulu coupon code, makes membership a no-brainer. (I’ll get a little payment if you join, and you also can earn for referring other members.)
Step 2: Click here to visit ALLi’s discounts and promotion codes page.
Once you’re a logged in member, this link will take you directly to ALLi’s directory of discounts and deals.
Step 3: Click on Production/Distribution
This will narrow down the discounts and deals to the category in which you’ll find Lulu.
Step 4: Click on the Lulu logo
This will take you directly to a page with your own custom Lulu coupon code.
Step 5: Copy your Lulu coupon code

Step 6: Paste your Lulu promo code into Lulu.
At checkout, above your Subtotal, you’ll see a field asking, “Do you have a coupon code?” Paste in your Lulu coupon code and click “Apply.”
And that’s how you get your own Lulu coupon code
Join ALLi. It’s is worth it just for this coupon code. They have other coupons and promo codes such as a BookVault promo code, a BookBaby promo code, and an IngramSpark promo code, but they have a ton of other perks. If you are committed to your career in self-publishing, I can’t recommend it enough.
