Print and Distribute

Prepare your manuscript with Reedsy, then print and distribute to the world with Blurb.

Reedsy recommends Blurb

Getting your book into the hands of readers is what publishing is all about. So when your manuscript is finished, well — it’s time to distribute it. That’s why we have partnered with Blurb to help you print and distribute physical copies of your book to a world of readers.

Prepare your print-ready PDF files

Before distributing your book with Blurb, you will need to format your manuscript into a print-ready book interior PDF and a book cover PDF file. Luckily, Reedsy can help you with that. Typeset your manuscript for free using the Reedsy Book Editor or collaborate with a professional designer on a custom interior and book cover.

Resources and FAQ

How do I prepare my book cover PDF for Blurb?

Ask your designer to review the Blurb cover calculator for exact dimensions.

Which trim size should I use for best results?

When exporting from the Reedsy Book Editor, we recommend using either the Reedsy Standard (5x8") or Reedsy Trade (6x9") trim sizes. If you work with a designer from the Reedsy Marketplace, they can format your book to any of Blurb's 9 standard trim size. They can also help you with a custom trim size, please contact Blurb Client Services for a consultation prior to designing a custom book.

ISBN numbers

When uploading to Blurb, be sure to include the correct ISBN number on your interior PDF export. This same number can also be added to the Blurb interface for automatic printing of your barcode on the cover PDF.
