CHICAGO, IL— Independent Publishers Group (IPG) is pleased to announce the addition of two new publishers to its academic and professional (A&P) distribution program.

IPG will welcome National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) to its A&P program on April 1, 2023. Specializing in books and journals that bridge in and out-of-school STEM learning, NSTA helps science educators and professionals elevate their teaching and promote science literacy.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to represent such excellence in book publishing,” said Alex Kampmann, Vice President of Business Development at IPG. “I look forward to supporting the growth and success of NSTA through our dynamic sales, marketing and distribution solutions.” Before becoming its sole worldwide distributor, IPG distributed NSTA’s children’s imprint, NSTA Kids, and held distribution rights in the UK, Europe, Asia (excluding South East Asia), and Oceania through its Eurospan program.

The American Council on Teaching Foreign Languages (ACTFL) will also begin worldwide distribution through IPG’s A&P program on April 1, 2023. ACTFL produces books, on-demand courses and other resources for its membership community that address the challenges of teaching language and seek to enhance and expand multilingual and cultural education at all levels.
