Agile Discovery & Delivery Available Through Ingram Spark

Category: Books | Self-Publishing | Uncategorized

February 27, 2024

I’ve got some exciting news today! My book, Agile Discovery & Delivery, is now also available via Ingram Spark! What’s Ingram Spark, you say? It’s a publishing company that has a wide distribution network to bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Target, all the independent bookstores) and libraries. So, you may very well see my book at your local library or bookstore soon! It’s also still available, of course, on Amazon. I’ve already seen it show up at Barnes & Noble, Thriftbooks, and other bookshops, which is just so awesome!

With Ingram Spark, I now have a book with a nice book jacket (which you can see in the featured picture) and I really like how it turned out. I, again, used GetCovers to make tweaks to my hardcover & paperback covers for Ingram Spark.

Request a Copy For Your Library

Would you do me a giant favor? To help make my book more available to everyone that needs to read it, would you request that your local library get a copy? It takes two minutes and it’s free! Libraries are always looking for new books that their reader base will enjoy. Here’s how to do it:

Grab your library card, as you will need to enter your library card number
Search for your local library’s Request a Book page

Search for “<your library name> Request a Book” or “<your library name> Book Recommendation” and you should find a link straight to the book request form. I was able to easily find links for Madison Public Library, Fairfax Public Library, San Francisco Public Library, and Seattle Public Library in about two minutes.
Fill out the form, here are some common answers you’ll need:

Exit Interview: A Book Review

I recently read Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career by Kristi Coulter. I picked it up because the title resonated with me. I, too, have had an ambitious tech career and just recently semi-retired, pulling back to teach and run programs at my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Coulter’s book was funny, interesting, and, above all, kind of PTSD-inducing if you’re in tech and especially if you’re a woman in tech.

A Different Kind of Power: Why Jacinda Ardern’s Version of Leadership Matters

I just finished A Different Kind of Power: A Memoir by Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s Prime Minister from 2017 to 2023. At a moment when the political world feels particularly bleak, Ardern’s book feels different. It’s full of hope (and good decisions). Her tenure as New Zealand’s Prime Minister shows us that a person can hold the highest office in a country and still be, unmistakably and unapologetically, a human being, a woman, and a mom.

Stick Together: What the Women’s Suffrage Movement Can Teach Us About Politics Right Now

I’ve been working on a new book for women trying to kick ass in a male-centric world and I’m in the developmental editing stages right now. I just got through my final chapter and I love it so, darn much. The chapter is called: “Stick Together: How To Stop Undermining Other Women & Get Things Done Together”. Historically, our failure to stick together has cost us decades of progress. Here’s just one example.
