Book Publishing Checklist for KDP, IngramSpark & Draft2Digital Safely - don't leave money on the table publishing on only one

If you are a self-published author selling on Amazon KPD only, you might be leaving money on the table. Indie authors wanting to expand their books and ebooks reach, beyond Amazon KDP can gain a far wider reach by publishing through IngramSpark and Draft2Digital (in addition to KDP).

Going wide gives your book access to get in front of bookstores, libraries, international retailers, and markets Amazon doesn’t fully cover—helping you grow your readership, increase long‑term sales, and build a more resilient publishing strategy. You can publish on all three.

Publish your books (or ebooks) confidently on KDP, IngramSpark, and Draft2Digital with this clear, all‑in‑one Combined Book Publishing Checklist (PDF). Perfect for indie authors who want a simple, organized workflow that covers every major step across all three platforms, and which formats are appropriate for each. Discover which platform to publish on first and which format to begin with, before moving onto the next one. You’ll learn to move in a precise sequence that is repeatable for each book you want to publish, safely.

Stay consistent, avoid duplicate content and rights‑management issues, and keep every project on track with a proven, repeatable checklist you can use for every book.

Use this checklist to:

• Organize your entire publishing process across KDP, IngramSpark, and Draft2Digital
