Frequently Asked Questions

We're here to help you make your book a reality

Will you do a cover for me?

We don’t need to! There are plenty of fabulous pre-made cover services out there that can provide you with a professional, tailored, unique cover for your book at a surprisingly low cost. Once you purchase the cover from the service and have your details added to it, it is taken down and can never be sold again. Some example cover providers are here, here and here.

Do you provide editing?

We don’t provide editing, but we can arrange for Katie Lowe at Afterwords Editing to edit it for you. Katie is an accomplished professional editor who has worked on fiction, non-fiction and academic papers. Use the contact form to get in touch with us, and we will arrange to send your book to her. If you have already edited your book, or it doesn’t require editing, we can publish your book as-is.

Why do I need two accounts for my digital book?

Draft2Digital will make your book available on most digital platforms (‘going wide’) but GooglePlay is separate. We will create the GooglePlay account for you, and publish your book there.

How many copies of my print book will I receive?

You’ll receive one digital copy, then one print copy of your book for proofing. Once you’ve approved your book, we will hand your accounts back to you and you can order your own copies at the cost of printing and delivery through your own account.

Will my print book be available in bookstores?

Absolutely. Your print book will be available world-wide to all physical bookstores that are serviced by the Ingram Content Group. Any reader who wants a copy of your book can ask the bookstore to order your book, and it will be delivered directly to the store.

Why Draft2Digital, and not IngramSpark?

Draft2Digital is a user-friendly front-end for IngramSpark. It is effectively IngramSpark, but provides you with full typesetting and manuscript design options for your book. If you want to go with IngramSpark, by all means contact us and we will talk about a full typesetting package for you.
