Recap: Lunch and Learn / Ingram Covered*

The latest Lunch and Learn event with Margaret Harrison and Courtney Seitz introduced Covered* the new Ingram website platform for digital review copies (DRCs) launching on August 17th. The new platform is built to connect booksellers and librarians with publishers by expanding access to diverse digital catalogs, direct ordering, community reviews, and removing roadblocks to title discovery. It harnesses Ingram's relationships with a large portion of the publishing industry, its connection to indie authors through Ingram Spark, and its work with over 50,000 booksellers and libraries.

Covered* is a standalone site but will integrate with other Ingram products such as iPage. It is free to booksellers and librarians, and includes affordable pricing for small and indie publishers, including the option to list single titles instead of full catalogs.

Harrison and Seitz will be representing Covered* at the upcoming New Voices New Rooms conference in Baltimore on August 2-5, and are scheduled to be at one of the "Ask Me Anything" tables and available to talk one-on-one with booksellers.
