| | Spark Inspiration for a World of Writers✨📦 What’s new? A whole lot of you! 2021 has already been one for the books with thousands of authors and publishers joining the IngramSpark community. It’s an inspiration to us and writers at the end, middle, or even beginning of their writing process. So keep writing, keep posting, keep publishing, and dream big—as big as the smiles in this video because, if not already, one day soon, that will be you! We can’t wait to celebrate your #SparkUnboxing when that time comes. Until then, we’re happy to welcome you to the IngramSpark community and encourage you to join the conversation on our Facebook Group, Instagram, and Twitter (whether you’re new or a long-time IngramSpark publisher)! Check out our amazing authors and see the moment they meet their self-published books for the first time! Our New Homepage: Made Just for You🏡 At IngramSpark, we realize our authors are at different stages of their publishing journey. To better curate the experience and information you need every step of the way, we've upgraded our homepage to fit you! Here’s what you can expect to see depending on what stage you're in of the self-publishing process. - For those of you just starting who may not have a fully setup account yet—welcome! Though the art of producing a book is no shallow subject, we see no reason for you to jump in the deep end alone. Our beginner homepage acts as a lifeboat that will help you through the ins-and-outs of self-publishing, IngramSpark benefits, and even calculating what you can earn for print book sales.
- So you have a fully setup account but haven’t finished/uploaded your book yet—no problem! The tools provided on your new homepage help you visualize a reality where your novel, self-help guide, or children’s book is no longer just a manuscript but a tangible book with information about our free book-building tool to an overview of our worldwide distribution.
- Authors and Publishers with a book(s) in their account—congratulations! Your new homepage points out a few ways to elevate your existing titles. Once your book is published, it's time to make sure potential customers are aware—and excited! That’s where marketing and connecting with a supportive community come in. Our free courses and guides are here to help you plan your strategy, so your title doesn’t lose steam after crossing the publishing finishing line.
But don't just take our word for it. Check out which homepage was made for you!
