#IngramSpark says professional paid book reviews are useful for selling to libraries etc. They're not wrong, but we don't think they're worth the cost for most indie authors.

Außerdem kann ich bei #Tredition nicht mehr anhakeln, dass ein Buch _nicht_ in den internationalen Verkauf soll, weil ich das zB selber bei Ingram hochladen will. Wann ist die Checkbox dafür denn weggekommen? Führt jetzt zu lustigen Kollisionen und Fehlermeldungen bei #IngramSpark, dass die ISBN bereits für #BoD-Thirdparty vergeben ist. 🤦♀️ Womit wohl klar ist, wer der Großhändler zwischen Tredition und dem internationalen Vertrieb ist.

So here's what happened with #IngramSpark this week. Chris had done some work putting a history book together for a local (inclusive) synagogue, not at all billing for the true hours he spent on it (think, can you pick up these handwritten notes from an elderly rabbi).

Launching on #kickstarter next week! I'm into the final preparation for the launch, making sure the formats look good on #IngramSpark and working with a local artists who make beautiful bookmarks which will be included as a reward for the signed copies.

With everyone complaining about Ingram Spark forcing the raising of retail discount to 40% across the board, I thought I'd run the numbers on D2D. But this is absurd. Yes, I don't make much on a paperback sale through IS (a little less half what I get from KDP) but it's still more than a dollar more than this. I feel like if they want people to only publish paperbacks through KDP, they're doing well...
