As we often tell people, you can get lower prices by working directly with a printer. But there are many dangers that go along with that that could cost you considerable time and money. That's why services like the IAPC exist, to help you through a difficult and hazardous process. 

And when you compare us to other third parties, you'll discover that the IAPC's prices are almost always lower. In fact, we encourage you to get prices from other companies like ours, like PrintNinja.com, and compare. Print Ninja is one of the largest third party print reps in the industry – and they're also typically priced about 50% higher than we are, for the exact same quality and comparable customer service.

But...why? Why are we so much less expensive than other, similar service providers?

The answer is easy, actually: other companies, like Print Ninja, know that most indie authors won't have any idea how to properly market their books and will end up not selling very many. So they need to make their money on the first print run. We take a different approach: we believe that if we can keep your price as low as possible and put more profit in your pocket, you'll not only have more motivation to sell, but you'll have more money to invest in marketing your books. Basically, we invest in you, and believe that you can absolutely sell through your books. And when you do, you'll come back for second, third and even more print runs. 

We believe in you, and if we can keep your costs down and put more money in your pocket, we can all win together!
