If you are using Amazon or IngramSpark to publish your books, you need to use Magic Math.

Amazon and IngramSpark require one page at the end of your book. The file you submit must be a MULTIPLE of 4 (48, 44, 40, 36, 32) MINUS (subtract) 1.

48-1=47 total pages

32-1=31 total pages

You do NOT add a blank page at the end, they will do that for you. If you do not have a magic math number, Amazon and IngramSpark will add extra white pages at the end of your book to equal a multiple of 4.

Be aware that Lulu does NOT require the extra page, so be sure to submit your manuscript as a multiple of 4.
