Marketing that puts your book in front of real readers.

Fiction lives or dies on discoverability. Readers find novels through categories, series pages and other readers, not through press releases, so we build the marketing around how people actually choose their next book.

Book launch campaign

Pre orders, advance reader copies and early reviews lined up before release day, because a novel with no reviews in week one is invisible in week two.

Metadata and discoverability

The right categories, keywords and comparison titles so your novel surfaces next to the books your readers already buy.

Ongoing promotion

Fiction sells slowly and steadily. We keep the book visible for months after launch, which matters most if you are writing a series.

Lulu vs IngramSpark, Our Honest Assessment

01 Ease of Setup

Lulu is simpler to set up and has fewer upfront requirements, which makes it a genuinely good starting point for a first print title or a smaller project.

02 Distribution Reach

IngramSpark connects to a much wider wholesale network, bookstores and libraries ordering through Ingram specifically. Lulu’s distribution reach is narrower, though it has expanded over time.

03 Cost Structure

Lulu generally has lower or no setup fees, while IngramSpark’s fees are higher upfront but often better on a per unit basis at scale. Which is cheaper depends on your print run size and sales channel, not a fixed answer either way.

04 Which Fits Your Project

For a first title, a smaller print run, or testing before committing further, Lulu is often the sensible starting point. For a book aiming at genuine bookstore and library wholesale reach, IngramSpark is usually the better long term choice. Some authors use both for different purposes.

One Team, Honest About Which Platform Fits

Because we work across every major publishing platform, we are not trying to push you toward whichever one benefits us most. Ordwick’s team handles Lulu formatting and setup as part of the same in house process used for your manuscript and design, and we will tell you honestly if a different platform actually suits your project better.
"I originally came to Ordwick asking for a full IngramSpark wholesale setup. After reviewing my actual goals—selling directly to attendees at my speaking events—they honestly advised that Lulu would be a much more cost-effective and simpler fit. I love that they didn't just upsell me on a complicated service I didn't need. They matched the platform to my project perfectly."
James C.Business Coach & Speaker
"Lulu is famous for being easy to use, but getting a book to actually look professional once it's printed takes real formatting skill. Ordwick didn't just dump my text into a basic template; they custom-formatted my interior layout, margins, and cover bleed. The final physical book I hold in my hands looks exactly like a traditional bookstore paperback."
Maria V.Independent Novelist
"Before I ordered 100 copies for my launch, Ordwick’s team insisted we do a physical proof review. They caught a minor alignment issue on the spine that I never would have noticed looking at a computer screen. Their attention to detail and formatting expertise saved me a lot of money and guaranteed my books arrived looking flawless."
Sarah L.Memoirist
