My book isn't quite finished and I don't have a cover yet. Can I set up a pre-order anyway?

Even without a completed manuscript or book cover file, you can still create a pre-order. These are sometimes called "No-Asset Pre-orders," and we offer full ebook support for them. As long as you have a release date that's more than ten days in the future, you can schedule a pre-order regardless of the status of your book cover or interior book files. We only ask that you upload your assets before your release date and do not, under any circumstances, upload any placeholder or incomplete files.


For print books, D2D Print does not allow print preorders without final content. 


REMINDER: It is a best practice to NOT upload placeholder files.
