Can I purchase a distribution service before uploading my file, so I can put the ISBN on my one-piece cover?

Distribution services are available only for published books, as the international standard for book identification that we know as ISBNs must correspond to specific content. If you plan to use a one-piece cover, follow these steps to include your ISBN on your cover:

  1. Publish your book with an ISBN. (You can make it Available only to me if you are not ready to release it to the public.)
  2. Purchase a distribution service. The purchase includes an ISBN that is assigned to your book and appears in your Project List, next to the title.
  3. Order your proof copy.
  4. If the proof copy is acceptable, Approve your book for distribution. If not, make any necessary changes and reorder a new proof copy.
