High Frequency has taken on the task of ordering books for you at cost. 

Please do not include your cc information anywhere on the form. We will use your cc authorization form only.

Please know the "at cost" price of your book and keep it handy. This will help you roughly gauge how much your book will cost to produce and ship and roughly which speed to request. 

A good range to consider: paperbacks of 200 pages are roughly $7.50; paperbacks of 250 pages are around $8.50; paperbacks of 300 pages are around $9.00. Hardcovers of 250 pages are around $11.50. 

Here's an example for you. THIS IS A ROUGH ESTIMATE.

10 books at $10 per book is around $125 at the economy printing price and basic shipping.

10 books at $10 per book is be around $145 at the rush printing price and basic shipping.

10 books at $10 per book is around $155 at the rush printing price and UPS standard ground. 

We recommend rush printing and UPS standard ground. This means your books will come to you in around two weeks. OR we recommend rush printing with basic shipping. If you go with basic shipping, it will take around three weeks. Please note that basic shipping is not trackable. 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Rush printing dispatches in one business day (from when they start printing, that is--and they do not print on weekends). Rush printing means that your order MIGHT get shipped that same week. 

Economy Service printing usually dispatches in 5 business days (from when they start shipping).

Holiday shipping takes longer. IngramSpark does not specify how much longer.

If you have a printing emergency (it happens) you can go much faster, but it will cost a fortune. 

Residential Second Day Shipping: now that example order of ten $10 books will cost around $250.

Residential Next Day Shipping: now that example order of ten $10 books will cost around $375.

The Light Speed EPUB is a mini-mag or zine that will appear after your book comes out. We have found that Light Speeds do not sell at all, and that they are only an apparatus that helps the author maintain excitement after launch. They can be sent out by the author and we have decided to simply give you the file to either sell or gift your readers. 

Light Speeds are around 15-20 pages tops. 

Fiction writers: submit a full short story (and NOT an excerpt from your book). 

Nonfiction writers: submit a full essay (and NOT an excerpt from your book). 

Poets: submit a mini-chapbook (and NOT poems from your book). 

Attach the file you want us to use (we will edit back and forth, but this editing process will be much less stringent--and that editing process will take place after the publication of your book). You will have one editor for the Light Speed (Scott). 

Please follow the instructions and submit all materials requested. We need all of these items in one place, and this way there is no chance any of the items will be omitted. 

This form can be started and/or completed any time after an author is signed to High Frequency Press. There are a lot of items on this form! All of these items are needed in order to process and publish your book. 

We're excited to publish your book.

++Please note that completing this form early does not mean that your book will be published earlier than its agreed-upon publication date.++
