This is where you’ll be uploading all of your files. The first step is uploading and converting your manuscript. Before you click the Browse button, make sure you’ve set your document to the correct size and that any non-compatible fonts are embedded. The nice thing about Lulu’s interface is that you can correct mistakes up until the time you choose the Distribution Service. You can also cancel your project at any stage before then.

After receiving an “unknown error” when trying to upload an .rtf file, I decided to upload the .pdf that I created. So far, I’ve never had a problem uploading a .pdf from my Mac.

Once your manuscript is converted, click the Continue button. This will take you to the book cover screen.
