You’ve written your book, now it’s time to print it. But with so many options out there… which one is right for you?
Let’s break it down: Amazon KDP vs. IngramSpark (and others) 👇🏾
📦 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗗𝗣 (𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴)
✅ 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿: Authors who want to start quickly, with little upfront cost
📲 Direct access to Amazon’s massive customer base
💸 No setup fees for publishing (print or eBook)
🖋️ Great for print-on-demand (no need to order in bulk)
🚚 Prime shipping for readers = fast delivery
⚠️ 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Expanded distribution is limited; some bookstores won’t carry KDP books
🏢 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸
✅ 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿: Authors who want to get their book into bookstores, libraries, and global retailers
🌍 Expanded distribution = more visibility outside Amazon
🎯 Professional quality printing & hardcover options
💰 Setup fee (usually $49+), but often waived with promo codes
⚠️ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: More setup steps + learning curve for new authors
📚 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗟𝘂𝗹𝘂, 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆, 𝗲𝘁𝗰.)
✅ Useful for specific formats like photo books, bulk orders, or custom projects
🚫 Often more expensive upfront and less widely used for standard nonfiction/faith-based books
𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲?
✨ If you’re just starting and want to get your book out quickly: 𝗞𝗗𝗣
✨ If you want wider bookstore access and bulk orders: 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸
✨ Want the best of both? You can use both platforms together strategically!
