Ingram Spark is finally dropping its set up and revision fees (for the first 60 days). Previously it cost $49 to set up a book on Ingram Spark and authors had to pay for any revisions. Now, from 1st May 2023, you can set up a print or eBook for free, and make changes for free for the first 60 days.
Additionally, Ingram Spark will be charging a 1% global distribution fee on sold copies from July 2023:
Effective July 1, 2023, a market access fee will be charged for every print book sold through
Ingram’s Global Distribution network, reaching 40,000+ bookstores, retailers, libraries, and schools.
The fee will be 1% of the list price of the title sold.
For example, if your book has a US list price of $20.00, the market access fee will be $0.20 cents.
This fee will appear on the compensation report in a field listed as Global Distribution Fee.
There are also flat-rate shipping fees in the US and new print options, including “ultra-premium color option that can help you create bright and vibrant books”.
