IngramSpark is the industry-leading print-on-demand (POD) and distribution platform that gives independent authors the same global reach as traditional "Big Five" publishers. While many authors start on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark is the essential next step for "going wide.
It connects titles to a massive network of over 40,000 retailers, libraries, and schools worldwide. Crucially, it allows authors to set wholesale discounts and returnability—two non-negotiable requirements for physical bookstores (like Waterstones or Barnes & Noble) to consider stocking an indie title on their shelves.
The platform is praised for its professional-grade production quality, offering a vast array of trim sizes, paper types, and hardcover options that often exceed what is available on other DIY platforms. By using IngramSpark, authors can ensure their book is available for order at almost any bookstore in the world, making it the "gold standard" for writers who want their self-published work to be indistinguishable from a traditionally published book.
