How long does it take for my book to be available for purchase?

The time it takes for a book to become available for purchase on Lulu.com can vary depending on several factors. Once you submit your book for publishing, Lulu.com typically reviews the files and information you provide. This process can take anywhere from a few days to a week. After approval, your book may then enter the distribution phase, where it will be made available on the Lulu.com marketplace and other platforms, if applicable. The entire process, from submission to availability, can take anywhere from one week to a few weeks in total. Various aspects, such as the complexity of your book and the specific publishing options you choose, can influence the timeline as well.
