Even when dealing with graphic designers experienced with book production, book publishers generally prefer you give them single page InDesign layouts like this:Ĭhanging your current layout into what I suspect will be the correct one will be tedious, but it won't be overly complex. Read your submission specs for IngramSaprk closely.
I can't imagine your printer won't charge you a baby fortune to make this job right on their end, so I'd suggest you take it on yourself to make it right on your end before submitting the job. The more complex and/or larger the book is, the more difficult fixing the job will be. If you've built your two-page reader spreads into single sheets, you've made it incredibly difficult for the printer to convert your pages into the layouts they need to manufacture your book like a more elaborate version of the example above. To produce a "book" that looks like this:

Printers need to crack your page sequencing into printer spreads, which let them manufacture your books in such a way that when they're produced, they appear as reader spreads. If so, I'd very strongly recommend that you double-check your page requirements for IngramSpark closely, because I believe you're built to lose, and lose big, if you submit this job as it is. pgs 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.) in a single, two-column page? Is your InDesign page size really set for 11.25" x 8.75 landscape? Are you laying out reader spreads ( e.g. I just caught your question and I have a couple more: This is what it looks like in preview mode:ĭoes that look correct? Would especially appreciate input from people who have printed with IngramSpark / Lightning Source and formatted a manuscript using InDesign. This is what it looks like with the margin guides: I've set the inside MARGIN to 1" and the GUTTER to 0" I've set the bottom to 1" to account for the page numbers being listed in the bottom center of each page. InDesign document dimensions: 11.25"x8.75" IngramSpark Recommended Bleed: 5.625 x 8.75 Re-submitting to IngramSpark is expensive and I'd rather avoid trial-and-error post-printing as much as possible. I would love it if someone could double-check that my numbers are correct concerning the document set-up, the margins, and the gutter. This is my first time printing with IngramSpark and I'm at a point where the margin numbers are all getting getting jumbled together in my mind.
