Frequently Asked Questions
What is IngramSpark publishing?
IngramSpark is a print-on-demand and distribution platform that puts your book into Ingram's catalog — the network most bookstores and libraries order from. It's how independent authors reach physical retail and library shelves beyond Amazon.
How is IngramSpark different from Amazon KDP?
KDP is built for selling on Amazon; IngramSpark is built for wholesale distribution to bookstores, libraries, and other retailers worldwide. Many authors use both — KDP for Amazon sales and IngramSpark for everywhere else — and we set up that combination correctly.
Can I use both IngramSpark and Amazon KDP?
Yes, and most authors should. The common approach is to sell your Amazon print edition through KDP and use IngramSpark for expanded distribution to bookstores and libraries, avoiding channel conflict. We handle the setup so the two work together.
Does IngramSpark get my book into bookstores?
It makes your book available to them. Bookstores can order any title in Ingram's catalog, and setting a proper wholesale discount and returnability makes them far more likely to stock it. Placement still depends on the store, but IngramSpark is what makes it possible.
How much does IngramSpark publishing cost?
IngramSpark charges for title setup and print costs, and professional file preparation is a separate service. We keep pricing transparent — see our pricing page or contact us for a quote covering setup and formatting.
Do I keep the rights to my book on IngramSpark?
Yes. IngramSpark distribution is non-exclusive and you retain full rights and royalties. You can distribute elsewhere at the same time and keep complete ownership of your work.
