Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo

Also preferably: do you distribute through channels other than, like, IngramSpark. Which anybody can access anyway.

If you're a self-published author, go at it especially hard. This will affect everything from your books sold through your website to IngramSpark, etc.

Critically important. Not 100% sure whether this covers IngramSpark as well, but if so basically every author using KDP print on demand is having their books fed into AI training models.
Publishers, if you work with Lightning Source or are distributed through Ingram, take note that Ingram is offering an opt-out if you don't want your books sold to AI companies buying them to scan for AI training. ⬇️

My IngramSpark sales rep is now involved trying to expedite this whole thing so hopefully soon I’ll be able to proceed with the release of Magica Riot: Full Bloom
Any good vibes and positive thoughts you can spare are welcome 🥹

I've really been going through it this last week, pushing at my distributor to fix this ISBN issue so I can actually proceed with the release of Full Bloom. It's got me down and sad and I haven't been around much as a result.
I'm still here, though, and still going. I'm just frustrated as hell.

Nothing hits me with that serotonin quite so hard as when those monthly IngramSpark emails arrive telling me I've made another $1.38 💪

Very exciting email from IngramSpark about how they're going to charge indie authors even more money for printing books next year. Very cool and fun news considering how much I already have to charge for a paperback when it still only costs trad pennies per copy. Very normal industry.
