Our Process

How We Publish Your Book

Five clear steps from manuscript handoff to live listings — with a dedicated publishing lead keeping you updated at each milestone.

01
Project Kickoff

Send your manuscript, trim size preferences, and target formats (eBook, paperback, hardcover). We confirm scope, timeline, and platform list before work begins.

02
Format & File Prep

Interior layout, cover integration, and export files are prepared to KDP, IngramSpark, and other retailer specs — with proof copies for your review.

03
ISBN & Legal Setup

ISBN assignment, copyright steps, and book metadata are completed so your title is ready for retailer submission and industry listing.

04
Upload & Go-Live

We submit to your selected platforms, resolve upload issues, and confirm listings are live — coordinated for a clean launch window.

Why Choose Us

Why Authors Choose Ingram Spark

Self-publishing should be transparent — you keep control, see what's happening, and launch on the platforms that fit your goals.

Full Rights Retained

We provide publishing services — not rights grabs. Your copyright and creative control stay with you; we're here to execute the technical launch.

Wide Retail Reach

Amazon, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, and more — we help you place your title where readers actually buy, including stores and library channels.

Dedicated Publishing Lead

One point of contact tracks formatting, uploads, and launch status — so you're not navigating retailer dashboards alone for the first time.

Transparent Royalty Guidance

We explain expected royalty ranges by format and platform before you publish — so pricing and profit goals are clear upfront, not after launch.

★★★★★

"First book, zero publishing experience. They handled formatting, ISBN, and KDP upload — live on Amazon and IngramSpark in under two weeks. Clear updates the whole way."

"Cookbook layout was tricky — photos, recipes, index. They nailed the interior and POD specs. Paperback proof looked great, and wide distribution went live on schedule."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Rights, timelines, royalties, file formats, and how our Digital, Complete, and Full Publish packages compare.

Yes. We are a publishing services provider, not a rights-holding publisher. You keep copyright and may move your title to other distributors anytime. We never claim ownership of your manuscript or brand.

Digital-only projects often go live in 5–7 business days. Print + eBook packages typically need 10–14 business days including proof review. Full Publish with custom cover runs 14–21 days. Rush timelines are available on request.

Rates depend on retailer, price, and format. Amazon Kindle often pays 70% in the $2.99–$9.99 band (35% outside it). Print POD margins vary with trim size and list price. We provide a projected breakdown for your title before upload so you can price with profit in mind.

ePub for most eBook retailers, Kindle files for Amazon, PDF for direct sales, and print-ready PDFs for POD paperback and hardcover. Send your manuscript in Word, Google Docs, or PDF — we handle conversion and retailer-specific exports.

Full Publish includes custom cover design. Complete and Digital packages assume you supply a finished cover, or you can add design separately. See our Book Cover Design page for standalone cover packages and specs.
