FIRST, HERE'S A LITTLE HISTORY OF MY WORK WITH INGRAMSPARK
Hi, I'm Carla King, self-publishing educator, consultant, and advocate of IngramSpark since it launched in 2013.
For a little history, here's my PBS article about IngramSpark in 2014 trends in self-publishing, my interview with Director of IngramSpark Robin Cutler in 2018 for the Author Friendly Podcast, and another with director, Paige Allen in 2023, for the Nonfiction Authors Podcast. Enjoy!
I also blogged for IngramSpark and penned three guides for them to give away at conferences and other events. I loved creating these little books!

I developed the Publishing Compass program to serve fiction and nonfiction authors around the globe. There's also a track for publishing pros who want to learn how to grow their business and better serve their authors. You'll learn:

The AI-Assisted Author Workshop

Writing & Publishing Circle
A la carte or included in the AMPLIFY program
A 2-hours per week intensive workshop with instruction and hands-on practice.
You don’t need to be tech-savvy to get real results.
If using AI tools like ChatGPT sounds intimidating, you’re not alone. Many of the authors I work with were skeptical or nervous at first—until they tried it.
Over the past year, I’ve helped dozens of writers—many of them self-described technophobes—learn to use AI to support their writing. And they’ve been thrilled with the results. They’ve written faster, gained clarity on structure, improved their scenes, and generated marketing content with ease.
The Writing & Publishing Circle
Members enjoy education, news, tech tools, and community authors need to stay informed, connected, and visible.
