BookVault Printer Review: Does It Live Up to the Hype for Self-Publishing?

My tutorial on how to upload your book to BookVault:

I used BookVault for the first time to print special editions of my book, Sparks in Iceland. I've tested a lot of their amazing features, printed the books, and sent them out to customers. The real question is: are they the best company to use for special edition books? And did you also know they offer print on demand distribution? You can sell your books directly on stores you own like Shopify, or even on Amazon? Today we're covering the cost to print and publish your book, the uploading process, printing options, quality, distribution, and so much more!

  1. Great video, informative and your book looks fabulous, upgraded keepsake ❣️ Is there a minimum you have to order for the colors and special editions ? How does one sell their books on TikTok ?

    1. No minimum! But obviously the more you order, the more it makes the shipping cost worth it.

      For TikTok shop there’s an entire process through TikTok to set up a regular account first, then sync it to BookVault.

    2. @MandiLynnWrites thanks for responding. Do you mean that if I already have a TikTok account which I do as far as like shopping and looking you know and checking out all the content, I have never gone live or anything myself, but does that mean if I already have an account on TikTok that I could just start selling my books on there?

  2. Mandy- you are TERRIFIC at what you do! Thank you for providing such great resource info and insight. 🙂

  3. Thank you for all you do… this is wonderful! I am going to check them out ❤

  4. For proof copies, could you order for example one with foil snd one without at the same time? That would help the shipping feel more worth it for proofs.

    1. I think so, but you’d have to have it as two different books, so you’d have to pay that publishing/listing fee twice which I think would make it not worth it. You’re better off making some hard decisions up front and ordering that version of the book to make sure you like it.

  5. Thank you so much for this in-depth video I have been considering using them for a special edition kickstart that I’m running next year

  6. 🎉 Mandi, your book is so beautiful! Thanks for covering Bookvault. I’m excited to try them … I read that the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLI) has a member discount for Bookvault that covers the set up fee. Hope this is helpful. Take care ❤
