For hardcover, paperback, and ebook distribution

IngramSpark distributes books to bookstores, libraries, and retailers. It’s a strong option if you want your book available beyond Amazon, but it’s important to understand how their system works.
Your book is placed into their catalog, and from there, buyers decide whether to stock your title. There are no guarantees.
It’s also important to know that most bookstores will not select your book unless you place a paid ad in Ingram’s catalog. The last time I checked, the cost was under $100, but the waiting period is several months — so patience is key.
IngramSpark also offers a “How-To” section on its website. Like Amazon, they provide extensive information for authors who want to self-publish.

They also offer a FREE GUIDE you can download. I strongly recommend reviewing it first to ensure this is the right path for your book.
