DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA — Lulu, the leading innovator in self-publishing and print-on-demand technology, is thrilled to announce a new partnership with DropCap, an internationally recognized literary agency and global rights marketplace specializing in foreign rights licensing for independent authors. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to empowering authors and publishers by opening doors to the international publishing market. Lulu authors can easily create listings in DropCap Marketplace, a best-in-class platform that streamlines and simplifies the process of licensing foreign rights to your book, and leverage DropCap’s extensive network of buyers.
"Lulu has always been at the forefront of empowering authors to publish and share their stories. Through our partnership with DropCap, we’re taking that mission further by simplifying the global expansion process for creators everywhere. This partnership underscores the belief that every story deserves a global audience," said Matt Briel, CMO at Lulu.
"Indie authors are publishing amazing books that are too often overlooked in the licensing world, simply due to a lack of access to the decision-makers. By joining forces with Lulu, DropCap can now give an entirely new wave of independent creators the opportunity to make their stories universally accessible," said Lindsay Jones, CEO at DropCap.
