How will I pay my Publish Now Payments?

Your first payment is made after you sign your contract. All other payments will be made through invoices sent by Lift Bridge Publishing that can only be paid through the form of a credit card.

What should I expect while my book is production?

While your book is in production, our team communicates primarily through email with updates. You may go through a period of 2-3 weeks in our production phase without an update as we are updating your interior and designing your book.

What happens when I receive my e-proof?

Your e-proof is what your interior book will look like before it goes to print. You will also receive a book wrap of your book. All e-proofs will through AnyFlip or PDF for book cover wraps. We ask that you review your e-proof and take a minimum of 2 days to review before signing off on book to go to print. Lift Bridge Publishing will not accept new material for books in the e-proof phase without signing a resubmission form and paying a resubmission fee. All approvals in the e-proof phase is an entire approval for the book. If there are any changes to your book, you must resubmit your entire manuscript to us with the changes within the document.

In the book pricing phase, all authors will receive a print charge from their author consultant. The author consultant will also provide a suggested retail pricing to assist the author to make a sound decision for the pricing of their book.

After Your Book is Published
How long will it be for my book to show up on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Lift Bridge Publishing?

We ask that you give retailers up to 2 weeks after your book is officially published to become visible or have CORRECT book information. It takes a few days for retailer channels to refresh your book into their system

Amazon has my book for a different price, why?

This is very possible as your book is submitted into a retailer channel giving resellers the right to sell your book for whatever price they like as a reseller. It’s kind of like reselling a pillow on Amazon or EBAY…we can both sell the exact same pillow but at whatever price we would like to list it. However, if sold from their resellers, they would have had to purchase the book through our distributor Ingram which will show up in your royalty statement.

Why does Amazon show my book as out of stock?

Amazon is just one retailer that either hasn’t refreshed their retailer feeds or haven’t restocked your book into the warehouse. Amazon can choose which titles they would like to house inside of their warehouses and most of the time, that is determined by book sales. It is out of Lift Bridge Publishing’s control on what Amazon feature. Books that are housed in the warehouse is what is featured as Prime shipping.

If I am on a payment plan, will my book still go to print without paying the final payment?

If you are on the Publish Now Payment plan, your book may be approved in the final phase, but no books can go to print without the final payment satisfied.

When and where can I reorder books?

We suggest all authors order books for book signings two weeks in advanced. Hardcover books take longer for books to print. When preparing for a book signing, you can order books through our website www.lbpub.com and click on the Author Reorder link. When ordering books, please list the shipping address on the form.

How many books can I order?

Our printers are print on demand books, you can order one book or thousands at one time

When can I expect to get paid royalties?

All royalty statements are sent out quarterly and the check payments are sent 30 days after the royalty statement.

How do I know my book’s rank?

Amazon has a feature on their page where your book is featured where you can see your rank within your book’s information

What if I want assistance with book marketing and book tours?
