Ordering Proof Copies of Your Book on KDP and IngramSpark - Self-Publishing Tutorial // If you're a first-time author self-publishing your book, then I don't need to tell you how exciting it is to see a print copy of your book for the first time. Odds are, the first physical copy of your self-published book you'll hold will be a proof copy you print to test to see how the cover and interior of the book look, and maybe even use to do some proofreading. But if you're a first-time author then you may be a little confused on the process of ordering your first proof copy and how it's different from author copies. In this video, that's exactly what I hope to cover with a quick step-by-step tutorial on how to order your proof copies on both Kindle Direct Publishing and IngramSpark.

Loving all your videos, thank you so much! After discovering that the world of literary agents is like talking with the walls, Im 100% going to self publish it, life is too precious to wait on other people to make our dreams come true! 🥰🥰

Like so many here, you answered precisely the questions Inhad concerning printed proofs. Im about yo publish my first book on KDP! Hmm. I just might be a subscriber...

Mandi, Can you talk to us about paper type? I’m about to finish my book, but I haven’t worked on my cover. So I would love for you to talk about paper types and common mistakes self-publishers make on the cover. I have my photo, title, subtitle, blurb, short author reviews, but I haven’t put it together. Thanks for all your wisdom and enthusiasm.

Hi Mandi, would you be able to do a video like this for Draft2Digital?? They’ve made some changes over the years I think, so it would be interesting to know how the process is.

Does a approved proof mean review will be approved?

@najjiegert 2 ай бұрын

I have a question I'm hoping you or someone here can answer... how do we go about ordering more than 5 proof copies? If a publicist for example requests 20 copies (as pre-publication ARCs), would we need to print 5 then repeat the process, or can you only print 5 more after a change to the file has happened? Thanks!

@musicformusos5196 12 күн бұрын

Thanks for the video, really helpful! One question: I’d like to order a physical proof copy of my book from Ingram and before I approve ebook proof, I need to click on either approving title for printing, distribution and sale.or approving for printing from orders placed by my account only. Once I know the book is okay I will do the distribution, but do you know if it makes a difference to ordering a physical proof copy if I click the for distribution box and I see problems on the physical book?

@FlourishingPostpartum 3 ай бұрын

Silly question but are you then setting the publish date for two weeks or more out so you have time to review the hardcopy of your book before it's available online? (for Ingramsparks)

@aleruri 9 күн бұрын

Great and informative video. I am having an issue where, in KDP, I ordered the proof and like an hour later got the email saying that the proof was ready for checkout. However, when I click on the link it takes me to the right market place from where I ordered the proof from but the cart is empty. Have you encountered a situation like that? It's been around 18 hours since I requested the proof and around 17 hours since I got the email. Thanks.

How long does it take to receive the book?

@DanielAttila Ай бұрын

What about getting author copies of the electronic versions?

@brianlawson1758 2 ай бұрын

So you cannot order proofs on either Amazon or Ingramspark until your book is published? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of making last minute changes after looking at your book as a printed book, BEFORE it's published?

@MandiLynnWrites 2 ай бұрын

KDP let's you order a proof copy before you publish. IngramSpark does as well if you set your publication date for the future.

@@MandiLynnWritesHi Maddi, Hope you are well, im new to this channel and i was a little lost on the ingram spark parts, i dont really understand what its used for, Does it have more benefits than kdp?

@vivekthegenius 3 ай бұрын

Hi, I just published my first novel as a KDP paperback. But in India, they don't have printing facilities, so I had to choose the US as the primary marketplace. I want to have some author copies, and to do that, I've got to choose the same marketplace as the primary marketplace, right?

@charlenebrown8737 3 ай бұрын

A proof copy needs an ISBN but the publication date and price of the book are not yet final, so I must “guess” in order to get the number assigned. Can this information be changed before publication on ingramspark, or am I locked into the information I initially provided? Thank-you!

@doctorfamily 4 ай бұрын

How much does KDP charge for the proofs? Is it just the printing costs or is it more?

@MandiLynnWrites 4 ай бұрын

The exact cost varies, but it's whatever the cost to print the book is. And shipping if you don't have Amazon prime.

@SuzanneKovitz 4 ай бұрын

Can I just have print copies with Ingramsparks? Because ebook is exclusive on Amazon right now

@taylorpingelton4946 3 ай бұрын

Hey question, so i was just wondering if any proof copy’s offer an online option proof. I am visual impaired first time author and i was just wondering if they had this option with print or if i can get in bigger font for the proof. Let me know know this was very helpful

@taylorpingelton4946 3 ай бұрын

Can you add the set up for Kdp to get copy proof so i can start this process to get closer to my desire pub date
