I’ve got some exciting news today! My book, Agile Discovery & Delivery<\/a><\/em>, is now also available via Ingram Spark! What’s Ingram Spark, you say? It’s a publishing company<\/a> 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<\/a>. I’ve already seen it show up at Barnes & Noble<\/a>, Thriftbooks<\/a>, and other bookshops<\/a>, which is just so awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> to make tweaks to my hardcover & paperback covers for Ingram Spark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Request a Copy For Your Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Grab your library card, as you will need to enter your library card number

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Search for your local library’s Request a Book page

    Search for “<your library name> Request a Book”<\/strong> or “<your library name> Book Recommendation”<\/strong> and you should find a link straight to the book request form. I was able to easily find links for     Madison Public Library<\/a>, Fairfax Public Library<\/a>, San Francisco Public Library<\/a>, and Seattle Public Library<\/a> in about two minutes.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fill out the form, here are some common answers you’ll need:

    How to Publish Your Book with Ingram Spark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Are you a fellow author? I wrote a whole article on how to publish your book with Ingram Spark. Check it out here<\/a>!
