Independent Publisher Services Press: Worldwide Distribution and Fulfillment
|
We offer an innovative program with Ingram which enables our clients to publish books globally through both online (Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, etc.) and 90% of bookstores in the US. In addition to global distribution, our solution does not require authors to pre-purchase and inventory books for wholesale orders. With the Supply-On-Demand model, both hardcover and paperback books can be printed and shipped through the distribution network within 24 hours of an online or store order. This model eliminates the need to tie up money in wholesale inventory. Most importantly, our clients get to retain all of their rights and 100% of net profit. For information on distribution, click here. In order to offer our clients a solution which is both economical and flexible, we established a base publishing package with additional optional services.

STEP 1: Order Online or speak with a customer representative at (800)-662-0701 x240
Right from the start, one of the features which sets us apart from other companies is the accessibility to our customer service team. A representative is available by phone to assist you throughout the entire process. If you order online, a representative will contact you by phone to walk you through the process.
STEP 2: Determine desired net profit per book
Using our Royalty Calculator, the representative can help you determine the best discount rate and sales price which will enable you to establish the amount of net profit you would like to make for each book. To confirm exact book cost, a representative will normally request a digital file of manuscript. Since most new self publishers are not experienced with the production aspects of book printing, we will make sure that all page settings are correct and the page count is accurate.
STEP 3: A Customized Publishing Contract and Title Information Packet is provided
Our contracts are title specific and will provide a detailed breakdown of all cost and profit calculations. Our authors get to specify exactly which options and formats (paperback, hardcover, ebook) they would like for each title. Contracts are Non-exclusive and authors can cancel at anytime.
Once a signed contract is returned, we ask that our clients
to thoroughly review their manuscript before submitting for
formatting and print-ready conversion.
STEP 4: Digital File Formatting & Conversion > Digital Proof
Once we receive your final digital file (Word Document or PDF), our Graphics Department will review and make any necessary corrections. Once formatting and conversion are finalized, a digital proof (PDF) will be provided for approval. PLEASE REVIEW VERY CAREFULLY. Any changes after digital proof approval will be charged fees specified above.
Upon approval of your digital
proof, we will produce a single printed sample of
your book and you should receive the book within 6 business
days. Since we want to be absolutely sure you
love the quality of our work and how your book
looks, this proofing process is required for all
orders. Once you carefully review your book,
either ACCEPT or REJECT. If you reject it, we make
the necessary corrections and send you a new proof
(an additional fee will be charged).
STEP 5: Title is available on distribution network in 4-6 weeks
Upon final hard copy approval, all metadata and keyword information will be uploaded to Bowker's Books In Print and Ingram's databases. Titles should start showing up on internet sites and be readily available in approximately 4 weeks.
STEP 6: Royalty Distribution
Every quarter we provide a distribution check and royalty statement indicating the number of titles sold. If any payment due is less than $50.00, no payment will be made but the amount due will be added to the next payment that exceeds $50.00.
