If you have more than one book in your order, they will be separated by PO numbers on your invoice:
Step 2: Upload Your Files
File Requirements
You will need to prepare two separate PDF files: one for the cover spread of your book and one for the inside pages. Please refer to our file specifications for instructions on setting up your print files.
Upload Files
After completing your order, the system will prompt you to upload your files. Ensure that your files meet the file specifications provided.
Step 3: Pre-Press Team Review
Initial Contact
Within 24 business hours, a member of the pre-press team will reach out to you via email.
Assignment of a Representative:
You will be assigned a representative to review your files. This person will check for proper bleed and margins, and ensure everything is ready for printing.
Step 4: Proofing
Printed Proof
If you opted for a printed proof, one copy of your book will be printed and sent to you for review. Shipping is not included.
Electronic Proof (eProof):
If you chose an eProof, it will be emailed to you for approval. It is free for orders of 10 or more softcover books and 4 or more hardcover. Each additional eproof is $25.
Step 5: Proof Approval
Review the Proof
Carefully review the proof copy or eProof to ensure that it meets your expectations.
Confirmation
Send an email confirmation to your representative stating that the proof is approved and everything looks good to print.
Step 6: Printing
Begin Printing
Upon receiving your confirmation, the printing process will begin. The timeline for printing will depend on the specifics of your order and will be communicated by the pre-press representative.

If you require a rush order, communicate with your pre-press representative to discuss the timeline and any additional costs associated with expediting the process.
