Beyond Amazon: What IngramSpark Really Does — and Why Every Indie Author Needs to Know

🎙️ I sat down with two insiders from IngramSpark — Chris Munnery and Madeline Bush — and we covered everything indie authors need to know but often find out the hard way.

The biggest misconception? That IngramSpark will market your book for you. It won't. But what it will do is give you access to 45,000+ global retail and library partners — if you know how to use it properly.

We talked about:
📚 What actually gets a book stocked in a bookstore
🔍 Why metadata is your first act of marketing (and the free tools to help)
💸 How wholesale discounts really work — and how it compares to traditional publishing royalties
📖 Why skipping your proof copy is a mistake you only make once
​✨ Exciting new features coming — printed edges, direct e-commerce, format conversion, and translations
​
Whether you're on your first book or your tenth, there's something in here for you.
