On-demand publisher Lulu.com and indie newspaper syndicate Universal Press Syndicate have announced they will be working together to launch an online storefront as a new way for UPS to be able to produce and distribute their content to the vast audience of fans of their authors and creators. Initial offerings include Clear Blue Water by Karen Montague-Reyes, The Fusco Brothers by J.C. Duffy and Real Life Adventures by Lance Aldrich and Gary Wise.
“Working with Universal Press Syndicate is so cool,” said Bob Young, founder and CEO of Lulu.com. “Giving Lulu users access to the many comic strip characters UPS manages, empowers our users to create amazing books and calendars for their own use and to sell globally through Lulu.” Said Sarah DeCourcey of Universal Press Syndicate, “We are committed to delivering quality content to consumers. The partnership with Lulu.com provides an opportunity to take advantage of the developing technology of print-on-demand. The combination of our companies brings two leaders of their industries together providing superior content for print-on-demand products.”
