Authors who publish through ETC Press will retain ownership of their intellectual property.
"We believe this is the future of publication," said Drew Davidson, director of the ETC in Pittsburgh and editor of ETC Press. "Partnering with Lulu.com enables ETC Press to publish across multiple media and publish multiple additions, exploring what constitutes reading and writing."
The partnership will begin with the "beta" launch of two books, stories in between: narratives and mediums @ play and Beyond Fun: Serious Games and Media.
Lulu provides print-on-demand technology, texts available in print and download format, and multi-platform accessibility. In a statement the company said it adds 5,000 new titles weekly to its publishing marketplace.
