*Please note that if the initial page count range changes after formatting and puts your book into a different pricing tier, your final invoice will reflect this cost difference. If your book falls into a lower pricing tier, the cost difference will be credited on the final invoice, lowering your balance due. If your book climbs into a higher pricing tier, we will add the additional costs to your final invoice. We will always notify you if this occurs.
Important Information to Know
Ingram requires a minimum of 18 pages to print for both paperback and hardcover editions.
For paperback editions, Ingram requires at least 48 pages to have spine text (title, author, etc.). Any page count under that will not be allowed to have spine text.
Ingram requires that all books have a page count divisible by 2. The last page will always be blank for insertion of Ingram’s manufacturing information. If necessary, Ingram will automatically add additional pages to achieve appropriate page count. This will be why you see extra pages in your printed proof that you were not expecting.
All images should be 300 ppi (pixals per inch) for best printing quality. We do not adjust images unless specifically requested and the additional service is paid for.

Additional Rounds of Revisions – During Production
If after the 2 rounds of corrections included in your package, you wish to make additional corrections in either the Interior Production stage or Cover Design stage, there will be an additional cost.
$85 per Additional Round
Post-Printed Proof Revisions
If corrections or revisions are requested after the Printed Proof has been received, the cost increases to make changes since we will need to upload new files to Ingram and they charge us every time a new file is uploaded. The fee is for a single file, so if both the interior and cover needs to be adjusted, then the cost doubles.
$375 per File
+$45 for a New Paperback Printed Proof
+$55 for a New Hardcover Printed Proof
Post-Publication Revisions
For corrections after the book has been enabled for distribution and published, view pricing here.
