How to prepare your book to sell on IngramSpark

Interior + cover on their template, often the CMYK their spec names.

IngramSpark (bookstores, worldwide) wants an interior PDF and a one-piece cover PDF. Their guide talks about embedded fonts and, often, PDF/X and press color, not screen RGB.

Lay out the interior on Path A or B, the cover on Path D, and after payment download the CMYK code the plant named (GRACoL, FOGRA, SWOP…).

If you still have any questions or suggestions, please send me a message. I am the creator of this tool. Initially, I built it for myself: I am a writer and an artist, and I needed something simple, fast, and affordable before I started generating income from my books or art. My mother ran a publishing house and I knew the fundamentals of this craft and what it means to assemble the layout of a book for print. This “formatting atelier” is meant to be simple: I made it for writers, artists, and anyone who needs to get their creation into print but has never done book formatting themselves before. So, if you run into any difficulties, please let me know: your feedback will help me improve the service. You are very welcome here! Send a message.
