WHAT IS THE IAPC?

PROVIDING RESOURCES FOR INDIE AUTHORS AND SMALL PUBS

The IAPC is a US-based printing and shipping resource, manufacturing all types and genres of books, as well as many other book-related products.

Our shipping partners are based in the US, while our printing partners are based in China – the epicenter of the printing world, where you can get the highest possible quality for the lowest possible price. All of our partners have been carefully vetted for financial stability, quality of their finished products, turnaround time and other important benchmarks.

We also provide warehousing and 3PL services, as well as offer opportunities to help you sell your products.

Our main goal is to help you find success by keeping costs low, quality high, and providing the services you need.

BULK PRINTING?

IS PRINTING IN BULK REALLY THE BEST OPTION FOR YOU?

As an independent author or small pubisher, the first question you need to ask yourself is: what are your goals?

If your goals are to grow your business and make money from publishing, then you’ll want to explore printning in bulk. Offset printing is the best way to generate a healthy profit margin and make a real career from your books.

And printing in China is the way to go with offset printing. As the epicenter of the printing industry, China provides the highest quality product for the lowest possible price.

With over a million units printed and five years in business, the IAPC provides distinct benefits you can’t find through other resources:

  • Lower cost & higher quality: Many of our author clients (including our CEO) have gotten their books on shelves at BN, Target and other large retailers – retailers who wouldn’t accept books that didn’t have the highest possible print quality. And our print partners in China provide this superior production at a low cost, so you can make a profit on every sale.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO:

The IAPC isn’t just run for indie authors, it’s run by an indie author.

Before I started the IAPC, I published my first children’s book, Ricky, the Rock that Couldn’t Roll. Years later, I’ve gone on to publish over a dozen more with plans for at least three more titles each year.

I’ve studied, I’ve learned, and my publishing journey has been a successful one. But as I spoke with other indie authors, I saw clear mistakes they were making – mistakes that could be costly, and keep them from earning a profit. So I started the IAPC to help keep other indie authors on the path to profitability.

You can make money in publishing. We’re here to help you do it!
