More Places to Be Discovered 🌏

Japan Global Connect

From children’s books to comics and literary novels to business guides, there are several books that sell well in Japan. We've added Dai Nippon Printing Co, an innovative printing company that is based in Tokyo, Japan, to our Global Connect Program offerings.

If you've added pricing for Global Connect (found in the pricing section when setting up new titles or on the Title Information page of existing titles) your titles are already automatically available for sale on Japan's online platforms like Amazon.co.jp and bookstore chains such as Maruzen. Booksellers are now able to sell your titles both in brick-and-mortar retailers and directly to universities and libraries in Japan.

Consider adding Global Connect to your titles to reach international markets today!

Review Your Book and Find Your Reader Type

Ingram recently introduced a new website called Bookfinity which helps connect readers with books they’ll love by allowing them to discover their Reader Type, find a bookseller, track reading lists, get new book suggestions, and review their favorite books. What’s even more exciting is that since your book(s) is part of Ingram’s distribution, it appears on Bookfinity also! Feel free to:

• Visit Bookfinity to explore this new place for books to be discovered
• Find your Reader Type and share it with us on social media @IngramSpark and @bookfinityofficial

Find Out What All the Hoopla is About!

IngramSpark distributes ebook titles to Hoopla, a digital library service, which has recently expanded into Australia! Available immediately, IngramSpark customers outside of North America are now able to profit from Hoopla's pay-per-use model. 

With Hoopla, publishers and writers receive payment every time their ebook title is borrowed by a Hoopla library card holder. And fyi: there is no limit to the number of times you, as the owner of your title, can lend out your ebook!

Excited to reach Australia readers with Hoopla’s expansion? Make sure your ebook has library pricing!
