Today's video will be short and sweet. I'll be reviewing how to order author copies of your book from Amazon KDP. As an author you have a few options:
1. Order your book from Amazon.com and pay full retail price
2. Order proof copies at cost, but they have the "proof" band on them
3. Order author copies that you can use for marketing, giveaways, or book fairs.
I'll be going over option #3 today.

Hello, I’m hoping you can share some insight as to whether or not authors can receive copies of their book ahead of release/publication. My intent is to share these copies with media outlets for review ahead of release to hopefully build anticipation for release. Would this simply be the the proof copies? Thanks in Advance!
@1MKWilliams
@1MKWilliams 2 года назад
With KDP you can order proof copies before the book is published (they will have a band printed across that reads "proof" ) or an author copy after you publish. You can print copies with a local printer to send out ahead of time if you only want them to go out pre-release. If you do a print pre-order via IngramSpark then you can order early copies that way was well. Best of luck!

What's your advice on book formats for your launch team? I was planning on sending physical copies to them for free in return for a review on Amazon but now I've just found out that you can only order author copies once the book is live. I want to give anyone who reviews my book the full quality experience of the finished product but how can I do that if only proof copies are available pre-launch?
@1MKWilliams
@1MKWilliams 2 года назад
Hi Charlie, Great question. I do a print preorder for all of my books via IngramSpark so I am able to get author copies ahead of launch and could send those to my launch team. You could so go to a local printer to have copies made to send out early. I send my early reviewers a digital copy (eBook or audiobook if it is available). Most understand the book may not be printed yet. You can always send a physical copy after the book launches as a thank you. Best of luck!

So I just bought two author copies to send to my book buyers who bought in my sales funnel, but because of the way I have it priced on Amazon, it will actually be cheaper for me to buy the book on Amazon instead of buying author copies. Recommendations? Still go through with author copies or just buy and ship to their address using Amazon?
@1MKWilliams
@1MKWilliams 23 дня назад
I would double check how you are pricing the book. Unless you have a very expensive shipping option selected or are making very very slim margins on the book, you should always save by ordering author copies.

@1MKWilliams
@1MKWilliams 2 года назад
Not sure what you mean by different tools. But your paperback needs to be formatted differently than your ebook, KDP has tempaltes you can use to input the book into the correct format. Same goes for the cover, they have templates to use to make sure there is enough bleed/trim. If you are having issues, I suggest checking out Formatted Books. They do print interiors AND covers and they make it SO easy: formattedbooks.com/?ref=31

Shipments that don't get from the warehouse to USPS. Book pages falling out. Seems each company has their own weak spot for quality. If you have already photographed and documented this then I would wait for their process to resolve and get some makegood copies. In the meantime, if you need more copies I would suggest ordering more to have in time for your signing. Best of luck!

When you preview the eBook when you upload you can download a copy to your computer so you don't have to purchase the digital copy, no. If you want a print copy then you just pay print and shipping cost for an author copy.

I dont have the option for ordering authors copy is it because the market place where it is published is different then where I live?

Hmm interesting... did you just publish the book? It needs to be approved and live on Amazon.com to be able to order author copies.

Brand new subscriber here. My first book was just released today on Amazon. It isn't giving me the option to order author copies however. It only is giving me the option to order proofs. I'm not sure what to do.

Congratulations on your new book! Are you looking at the drop down menu next to the paperback version of the book on your bookshelf? That's odd if author copies aren't showing, they usually have the option right below the printed proofs option.

If you use Amazon KDP the paperbacks are sold as print on demand. If you want to sell signed books directly to readers then I'd suggest setting up a shop on your website. I DO NOT recommend using both KDP and Seller Central.

@@1MKWilliams no I don't want to sell on website or retail just on amazon . What I'm asking is after I publish my paperback , what is the shipping process to reach the readers . Do I need to buy the stock at author rates and then ship according to the demand or kindle would print and ship worldwide directly to readers?

@@rayhankhan2280 the royalty is the retail price less printing and a distribution fee to amazon. I have a ton of other videos all about Amazon KDP if you want to check them out

I believe the limit is 100 or 500 per order.
