You can write the absolute best book in the world, have top-of-the-line book distribution and quality, but another essential part to being a successful publisher is taking the time to invest in expanding your publishing knowledge and expertise, because, at the end of the day, your book’s success needs your input.

For the past few months, we've been hard at work laying out an new online experience for our website users.

Now, it's the time for us to share it with the world. 

What happens when your book gets stuck in IngramSpark's title processing? And what if your title is showing up as "temporarily unavailable" or "out of stock" through online retailers? In this post, we'll review common file errors that delay your title processing and how to ensure that your title is available to booksellers worldwide.

Did you know we're on Instagram?! IngramSpark has joined the Instagram #writingcommunity, and we couldn't be more excited! With millions of writing-related hashtags, Instagram is the perfect place to connect with other self-published authors. Following along with each other on the self-publishing journey is not only inspiring, but can also help you learn new ways to market your book, reach more readers, or even improve your writing skills!
