Then I realised there was no way to go ‘back’ to the list, so I had to go from the beginning, flipping through all the steps of setting up my book, and get to the same error message. Two of those things had an X for me, so I went into one section, added my info (about where I want to get paid royalties), and save. This is followed by a simple checklist of 3 sections-easy enough, at first glance. Why I wasn’t asked this when I first set-up my account? It still baffles me! Before you can add the files, you need to finish setting up your account.’ Instead of asking me for that, what I got was a message from IngramSpark basically saying ‘ Oh, wait. I mean, if you’ll recall, in CreateSpace, you set up your book first then talk about pricing and channels to sell it through, right?

Got to the end, all the while wondering where the hell I’m supposed to put my PDF so I can finally see the conversion. On day two, I went back to it, finished the conversions, still with not much of an idea on what royalty I’d be getting-that’s harder to figure out. This is where I gave up by the end of day one. Unlike CreateSpace that populates everything easily and gives you the royalty calculations. So I had to go online and figure out what the approximate price was for Euro, GBP, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar. I was asked to price my roughly-300-page book at $28 USD and there was no conversion. Remember the part in CreateSpace where you set up your price, and it automatically calculates the best prices for GBP and Euro? Yeah, forget that with IngramSpark. Call me crazy, but I was looking for a similarly seamless experience. But I never did for CreateSpace and I was able to set up my print book perfectly fine. Sure IngramSpark has a resource page with videos on each step. There are five steps when setting up your book with IngramSpark, and there are a MILLION things to decide on-or so it feels.

I live in Canada, so the tax setup part was just as easy.

Done in less than 10 minutes, and for me, that was superb!

The original setup of the account was super easy, no problems with it.

Let me put it this way: if I had paid $49 for the print option, I’d have been asking for a refund. I tried over the course of three days to set up First to Fall using IngramSpark, and was at the point of banging my head against a wall when I finally threw in the towel. I know authors who’ve had good experiences with them, and others where it didn’t work.

I restate my disclaimer here that I am in no way discouraging anyone from trying out IngramSpark.

I chose to pull my First to Fall paranormal romance and try it out, thinking it was a good a time as any to try out their interface.

I’m not a fan of KDP Print-or Amazon, for that matter-so I wanted to go with IngramSpark.įor the month of July, they had a promotion that you could add one of your books for free without having to pay the fee.

David Gaughran has a really good post on it, and details how to switch to KDP Print, if you’re interested. Many of you will have heard the rumours that CreatesÍpace is shutting down, to be replaced by KDP Print. Now, why would you pay for IngramSpark when you can get CreateSpace for free, you might ask? $25 for an ebook, $49+ for a print book, or $49+ combined package for both ebook and print.Īs you can see from the table below, they advertise their combined package as the best deal, which is true. They, like Lulu and others, help you bring your ebook/paperback self-published book to life. IngramSpark is a company similar to CreateSpace, only not owned by Amazon. It’s only a reflection of my own experience with them and why I decided not to publish my paperbacks with them. Disclaimer: this is not to discourage anyone from using IngramSpark.
