Publishing a book yourself can seem complicated, especially if you've never done it before. The good news is that you don't need to be a publishing expert to get started.
CanadaCopy.com can take care of the printing and binding portion of the process, allowing you to concentrate on creating your book.
CanadaCopy.com is a printing and binding company. Once your book files are finished, we can turn them into professionally printed books.
Self-publishing isn't limited to novels. A wide variety of publications can be produced using the same basic process.
Write and organize the content of your book. Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, Apple Pages, and other programs can be used to create your book.
Have your manuscript carefully reviewed before sending it to print. It is much easier and less expensive to correct mistakes before production.
Create the interior pages and cover at the correct finished size. Pay particular attention to margins, page order, images, and bleed requirements.
Choose your finished size, paper, cover, binding method, and quantity.
Upload your finished files and review the available proofing options before placing your order.
Carefully check the entire book. Look for spelling errors, missing pages, incorrect page order, image problems, margins, and orientation.
Once everything is correct, approve the proof for production.
Once production is complete, your finished books will be ready for pickup or shipping according to your order.
The best binding depends primarily on the number of pages, the type of book, and the look you want.
For most bound books, we recommend approximately 0.5" (12.7 mm) of margin on the binding edge. This provides room for the binding and makes the finished book easier to read.
For saddle-stitched booklets, a 0.25" (6.35 mm) margin around the page is generally sufficient.
Your files should be finished and carefully checked before you submit them for printing.
Whether bleed is required depends on the product and how the artwork is being printed and finished. Follow the specifications provided for the specific product you are ordering.
An ISBN is not required simply to have a book printed. However, if you intend to commercially distribute or sell your book, an ISBN may be appropriate or required depending on your plans.
ISBN requirements vary by country and distribution method. CanadaCopy.com does not issue ISBNs, so you should obtain your ISBN information from the appropriate organization for your location.
Copyright is a separate matter from printing. If you are concerned about copyright protection, consult the appropriate government authority or qualified professional.
CanadaCopy.com prints the files you provide. We are not your publisher, editor, or book designer.
Please carefully review your files and proof before approving your order for production.
The maximum page count depends on the binding method, paper stock, and finished thickness of the book. Perfect binding is generally better suited to longer books, while saddle stitching is better suited to shorter publications.
Depending on the product, small quantities may be available. This can make digital printing a useful option for self-published authors who don't want to commit to a large print run.
Custom sizes may be available depending on the product and binding method. Check the specifications of the product you are ordering before preparing your files.
We generally recommend a minimum margin of 0.25" (6.35 mm) for most printed materials, with additional room on the binding edge for bound books.
For most bound books, we recommend approximately 0.5" (12.7 mm) on the binding edge.
Not necessarily. Bleed requirements depend on the product and how the artwork is being produced. Follow the specific file requirements for the product you are ordering.
CanadaCopy.com can provide printing and binding services, but customers are responsible for preparing their artwork unless professional design services have specifically been arranged.
We may identify obvious technical problems with a file, but customers are responsible for proofreading and checking their content. Always review your proof carefully before approving production.
There are many suitable programs. Microsoft Word can work well for straightforward books, while Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, and similar page-layout programs provide greater control over professional book layouts.
Once your book is written, edited, designed, and proofread, CanadaCopy.com can take care of the printing and binding.
If you're new to self-publishing, start by selecting the book product that best matches what you're trying to create. The product specifications will help determine the appropriate size, paper, binding, and file requirements.
