Lulu offers a variety of prepared templates for common notebook, journal, and planner designs. You can download and use them exactly as they come, or you can edit the template using InDesign or another PDF editing tool.

Once you’re ready with your interior PDF, you’ll upload that file while publishing to create your notebook, journal, or planner.

You can find a variety of common and recommended sizes along with free templates on this page. Just select a size and binding option that will work best for your notebook or journal, then download the free template to get started.

Remember that notebooks, journals, and planners often benefit from being able to open flat, making coil binding a great option.
