My books are already published on Amazon using their free ISBNs. Would I still be able to submit books to Ingram Spark with new ISBNs that I purchase?

I’m not focusing on getting my books into bookstores and libraries but I do want my family and friends in South Africa, Germany and Oz be able to buy my books without paying a fortune for postage from the US. Do I select the global connect option on IS and do they then still go to Amazon and purchase from there? Or where do they actually have to go to get the book?
What discount do you have to set it to on IS?
How do I ensure the books will be available for purchase in specific countries?

Lots of information. I’m wondering how authors find how to price their book in the global market? Does Ingram offer advice on what to price a book, say in China or India?

I really enjoyed this session! I wanted to know if it is necessary to purchase an ISBN after uploading to Ingram, or is one provided?

Like many other commentators on such things, I often criticize publishing figures who proudly claim they provide a full picture of the state of the industry while not including statistics for self-published titles. So, of course, I welcome the publication of figures that double down on self-published titles.

The Beatles’ AI-Assisted Grammy Nomination, Potential US AI Regulation Shifts, and Tech’s Take on Creativity: Self-Publishing News with Dan Holloway

You might think literary and other creative industry conferences dominate the discussion of how AI-assisted creation will affect the future of the arts. Looking through schedules, it can certainly feel that way. But the uneasy relationship between creatives and tech firms is also a subject of conversation on the other side of that binary.
