Red Hat Co-Founder’s Latest Venture Prepares to Battle Amazon
Just as Red Hat’s open-source strategy transformed a market dominated by proprietary software systems, Young champions Lulu as a way for writers who might not find traditional publishers to distribute and profit from their creativity. Authors retain copyright and 80 percent of the profit from their sales; Lulu takes the remaining 20 percent and charges for optional services such as proofreading and cover design. The site has 2 million registered users, with 1 million authors who upload 20,000 new titles to Lulu each month.
