I need control of the book I authored; only my publisher, it seems, has an account with you. How should I proceed?

If you're an author whose book was published with Lulu.com by someone else, such as a publishing company or a private individual, it's essential to know that the account holder has control over the book publication. The best step to take in this situation is to contact your publisher and discuss with them any changes or access you desire. They are the ones who hold the account and would need to make adjustments or provide you with access accordingly. As per Lulu.com's policies, control can't be transferred without the account holder's permission.

Can't checkout my cart on Lulu.com

They are selling my ebooks at over $460 on Apple Books

It's possible for eBook prices on retail partner sites like Apple Books to vary due to exchange rates, taxes, and other factors. However, a significant price increase like what you've mentioned seems unusual. It's also important to note that Lulu.com cannot control the prices set by retail partners. If the price discrepancy is significant and consistent across multiple regions, it might be best to review the pricing and distribution settings on your Lulu.com account. If everything seems correct there, you may need to reach out to Apple Books directly, as Lulu might not have the power to alter prices on that platform.
