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:
- 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.)
- 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.
- Order your proof copy.
- If the proof copy is acceptable, Approve your book for distribution. If not, make any necessary changes and reorder a new proof copy.
