Account Setup, Print Specifications and Distribution Settings

IngramSpark makes print books available to order through its distribution network. It has its own file specifications and a set of distribution settings, wholesale discount, returns and pricing, that directly affect whether bookstores will stock your book and what you earn per copy.

We set up the title in an account in your name, prepare files to IngramSpark's specifications, and talk you through the distribution choices so you understand the trade-offs before going live.
