Bethany Atazadeh - YA Fantasy Author | An INGRAMSPARK RANT *ahem* Update on this Self-Publishing Print on Demand Company @BethanyAtazadeh | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
So many indie authors are upset over this latest Ingramspark update of changing the wholesale discount from 30% minimum to 40% minimum (which drastically cuts into our author royalties, AKA the money we make per book). Here are my thoughts on that change, as well as another (slightly more positive) recent update, plus the pros and cons of Ingramspark overall to help you decide if this is the right print on demand company for your self-publishing needs.
