Professional Self-Publishing with IngramSpark
Create a hardcover or paperback that is identical in quality and availability to a traditionally-published book
Essential Self-Publishing will create a digital book on Draft2Digital, Amazon KDP and GooglePlay, so that it is widely available on all platforms. For print we will use IngramSpark, which gives you full control to create a personally tailored print interior design in both paperback and hardcover, with black and white or colour interior.
Account Creation
We will create your account on Draft2Digital, Amazon KDP and GooglePlay for your ebook, and IngramSpark for your print book, and ensure that all the details are correct.
We will handle the account details and give you guidance on tax reporting, online presence, and marketing for your work. If your book is not yet edited, we can provide you with contacts for trusted editing services.
Book Upload and Registration
We will assign each edition of your book a unique ISBN that will make it available to all bookstores worldwide. Your book will be listed on all the digital online stores, as well as available to library and subscription services. IngramSpark is the world’s largest wholesaler of print books and your printed books will be available worldwide.
Your eBook on Apple, Google, Amazon and Library Services
We will create your digital book on Draft2Digital. Draft2Digital is an easy-to-use publishing service that has the option of formatting your digital book so that it looks polished and professional.
Draft2Digital feeds through to Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble, subscription services, and libraries.
We will create also a publisher’s account for you on Amazon KDP and Google Play, and upload your digital book for purchase on the Amazon and Google Play stores.
Your Print Book in Online and Physical Bookstores
We will fully typeset your print book into a font and format that is individual to you, including colour interiors if you prefer. We can create your print book as both a paperback and a hardcover, with a wider range of tailored options available through the high-end print-on-demand service provided by IngramSpark.
We will help you to select a unique cover from many cover design services, and create a full wrap-around cover for the book. You will receive both digital and printed proof copies, and once you have approved the printed proof of the book, we will hand the account back to you and you will be able to order printed copies of your book at cost price directly from IngramSpark.
