Ingram Advance is a publication read by wholesalers that lists published books. Many self-publishing companies include a graphic advertisement in Ingram Advance as one of their many marketing services. By listing your book in the publication, you are announcing your new book to the people who are most interested in buying it. In addition to Ingram Advance, there are topic specific publications such as Children’s Advance and Christian Advance. These publications are similar to Ingram Advance, but they focus on a specific category of books.
I’m curious, which of these publications would you consider advertising in? Please leave comments.

I am looking for a venue to gain my self-published book, “A CLEAR DESTINY” [Xlibris] some notoreity. Your comments – and it seems there are no others who deal with self-publishing other than Outskirts – seem slightly in favor of Ingram Advance. Would this be your recommendation? The penultimate theme could be viewed as a “Christian” message, although it is truly global and not religion-specific. I paid for a significantly expensive marketing program from Xlibris, have had a radio interview, and a video clip is available on various online sites including UTube.
