It should be under ecommerce. then create purchase link. You get far more profits from sales directly from ingram, so you only need to price it so much above the print cost as to give yourself a desired profit, this is what Flowers' looks like shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?QTUbpl...

Flowers for a Vinok, Roses for a Babushka, Poppies for a Grave

This is the story of Amvrosiy, a Cossack swordsman. This tale tells of how he grew from a girl to a man, and of his home, and of those he loved. I will tell you of how he fought for them, protecting t...

I highly speculate that Mark Read (a pirate) was a trans man, I'm trucking through reading up on pirate history to make an artpiece of him that doesn't feminize him. Also Lou Alcott (author of Little Women) likely was transmasc considering how he talked about himself

Solomon Skalozub🌻🔱🍁 @sollizyy.bsky.social · 13h

There were some authors too, and some other historical figures that by all accounts I'm certain they were transmasc but no one really acknowledges it

Barry is interesting in that he was so blatantly a trans man yet it still took so long for people to commonly refer to him as such

I love when people make threads or feeds for trans books! When I check to find reads and see my own posts I get jumpscared 🤣

Thank you! I...don't do anything special to it lol

Solomon Skalozub🌻🔱🍁 @sollizyy.bsky.social · 15h

And no, I don't want an undercut again. I'll post short short hair Sol here but it's not coming back. I like having length

A photo of Solomon in a car, his hair is short and bleached, the sunlight is strong

Solomon Skalozub🌻🔱🍁 @sollizyy.bsky.social · 15h

I'm debating if I want to let my hair grow out for like 2 years before chopping it again, or get it chopped next spring again. I liked the long long hair, but the chin/shoulder length suits me and is easier to keep healthy

Decisions decisions

Also I've published 4 books through Ingram, and I did the formatting for them, so if you are having trouble with that you can just dm me, ik Ingram is a pain in the ass

Also you can make it cheaper on direct links, so for your American readership they will get a cheaper price

Solomon Skalozub🌻🔱🍁 @sollizyy.bsky.social · 17h

I typically just go through Ingram for print rn, but I want to look into a Canadian pod, bc 1) we won't need to buy isbns, and it will be cheaper, and I can't order author copies from Ingram to Canada :/

If you have to raise the price, do it, I try to set it so that I make about 4 dollars per sale
