Check your IngramSpark account and email regularly after uploading revised files for updates. Avoid beginning revisions on weekends or holidays. Upload revised files during regular business hours on a weekday. Ensure you have the correct files before starting the revision process. While some delays may be unavoidable, there are a few steps authors and publishers can take to speed the revision process along. Revisions submitted on weekends or over holidays may also take longer to process as well. But, these Amazon-availability issues ruined my confidence in selling IngramSpark hardcovers with Amazon Prime shipping. Therefore, revisions will not impact orders in process, but revisions will not be processed until all orders sent to the print floor are complete.Ī title that has multiple open orders when the revision is submitted would take much longer to process than a title with no open orders. IngramSpark hardcover review: Would do it again As I said, a main motivation for publishing an IngramSpark hardcover was to see what the process was like, to consider launching my next book as hardcover, instead of paperback. There is no guarantee as to how quickly production orders will be fulfilled so the revision or resubmission can be completed. OPEN ORDERS: If a title has one or more open orders placed against it, revisions or resubmissions will be processed upon the completion of all outstanding orders. According to the IngramSpark user-guide (Version 1.7, dated November 16, 2021) the revision process doesn't even begin until current orders are processed. However, your title will be removed from availability for new orders during the revision and approval process. When uploading file revisions, existing orders will continue to be fulfilled using the last approved file. While some of this information is well known, the part about removing the title from availability during the revision process was news to me -and to others I later spoke to. This approval will ensure future orders reflect your new files. Open orders from you or customers buying your book will be fulfilled with your previously uploaded file until all existing open orders are completed.Īfter all orders are fulfilled, the revision process takes 2-3 business days, at which point you will need to approve your final Eproof again.
Uploading a new file will remove your title from availability, both for your own print orders and for orders from our distribution partners.
