Questions, answered.

Nothing upfront. InkPeach keeps 10% of net receipts on the Author plan (8% on the Press plan). Net receipts are what the retailer pays us after their own share. You receive the remaining 90%.

List price is what the reader sees. Retailers keep a share, commonly 30% to 50% depending on store and price band, and some deduct taxes or delivery fees. What remains is the net receipt, and InkPeach’s commission is calculated on that amount.

Yes. You set one base price and we convert it to local currencies with retailer-friendly price endings. You can override individual territories whenever you like.

Yes. Schedule discounts or free periods in advance. Be aware that some retailers, especially Amazon, apply their own price-matching rules, and permafree depends on that store matching your free price elsewhere.

Yes. Library platforms pay per licence or per loan. These sales appear in your statement with the same 90% net share as retail.

No. You may sell through other aggregators, directly from your website or through any store, at any time. The only caveat is a specific programme such as Kindle Select, which demands exclusivity on that store only. In that case simply deselect Amazon.

Always. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to deliver your files to the channels you select. That licence ends when you remove the title or close your account.

Yes. Withdraw a title from one channel or all of them from your dashboard. Retailers usually act within 24–72 hours. Readers who already bought the book keep their copy.

Some stores require one. You can enter your own or ask us to assign a free InkPeach ISBN. Each format (EPUB, audiobook, print) needs its own. See our ISBN notes.

Retailers require disclosure of AI-generated text, images and narration. The upload wizard asks about this, and we pass the answer to every store. Content that breaks a retailer’s policy may be refused.

Ebooks: EPUB 2 or 3, or a styled Word (.docx) file that we convert. Audiobooks: MP3, M4B or WAV, chaptered. Covers: JPG or PNG at 1600 px on the shortest side or larger, RGB.

We do not distribute PDFs as ebooks, because they do not reflow on e-readers. For picture books and cookbooks, use fixed-layout EPUB. We can advise if you have a PDF-only source.

Consistent loudness (around -20 dB RMS), peak below -3 dB, 44.1 kHz, at least 192 kbps MP3 or AAC. Provide an opening credits file, closing credits and a retail sample of up to five minutes.

Conversion from a clean Word file is included at no charge. If your manuscript needs extensive layout, we can recommend independent formatters. We do not mark up their work.

EPUB validity, working navigation, cover size and ratio, embedded fonts, image quality, front matter and ISBN consistency, plus the content rules of each retailer.

We review files within one working day. Most large retailers publish one to three days after delivery. Library and regional platforms can take up to a week or more.

Yes, on stores that support pre-orders. You can set a release date up to 12 months ahead and upload the final file as late as 72 hours before release.

Price, description and cover changes usually propagate in 24–48 hours. A new manuscript file is re-checked and re-delivered, then refreshed in stores within one to three days.

Check the channel status in your dashboard. If it says Delivered, the retailer is processing it. If it says Rejected, you will see the reason. If two weeks pass without a change, contact support and we will chase the retailer.

Monthly. Retailers settle with us around 30–60 days after month end, and we pay you within a few days of receiving funds. Expect payment 45–60 days after the month of sale.

By bank transfer (SEPA, ACH, SWIFT) or PayPal. Choose your preferred currency (EUR, USD or GBP) in your account settings. Bank fees on international transfers are deducted by your bank.

Yes, 25 in your chosen currency. Balances below this roll forward until they pass the threshold.

You complete a tax interview when you create your account. US authors submit a W-9 or W-8BEN. We withhold tax only where the law demands it, and provide annual statements for your records.

Author plan accounts receive a single payment. Press plan accounts can set percentage splits among contributors and have us pay each one directly.

Go to Sign up, confirm your email and complete your profile. You can upload a first title the same day.

Yes. Upload the same files and ISBNs here, then remove the title from the other service. Contact support and we will coordinate timing so there is no gap in availability.

At any time. Your books are withdrawn from stores, outstanding royalties are paid out and you can export your sales history first.

Use the contact form or email support@inkpeach.com. We answer within one working day, and presses on Press plans receive same-day replies.
