So you’ve written a book. Congrats—you’re officially cooler than 99% of the people who “have an idea for a book” but never finish it. But now comes the big question: How do you actually get it out into the world?
Enter IngramSpark—a global distribution powerhouse that makes your book available to indie bookstores (hi 👋), libraries, and retailers across the globe. We’re talking about a legit publishing route that lets you keep creative control while making your book more discoverable than your ex’s embarrassing TikToks.
Local author SG Boudreaux will walk you through how to self-publish on IngramSpark—why it’s worth considering, what the process looks like, and the perks of getting your book on shelves outside of the Amazon bubble.
Not vibing with Ingram? Don’t worry. At the end, Riah Evely(owner of The Charmed Page and professional “let’s-make-this-happen” enthusiast) will show you how to self-publish using Amazon only—because sometimes you just want the fastest, cheapest route to holding your book in your hands.
Whether you’re Team Indie Bookstore, Team Amazon, or Team “I just want my book out already,” this workshop has you covered. Come ready to learn, take notes, and maybe even have that “holy crap, I can really do this” moment.
