What is Distribution?
Writers know how to write, but what about distribution? Distribution allows authors to display their work for sale to customers in multiple locations. For example, there are a variety of locations online, "brick and mortar" retail stores, libraries, and non-traditional vendors seeking to display their books.
Marketing & Promotional Credit
Authors can now distribute their content or have us create it for them. And, if taking advantage of our self-publishing program, we offer a $1,000 credit towards distribution that can be used for marketing & promotional content, as well as managing additional channels.
Media & Press Release
We will conduct a search, customize a plan-of-action for you, and notify the media of your published book.
We review and prioritize specific publicity opportunities, and can distribute up to three hundred (300) media contacts appropriate for you.
We can also create a listing, which credentialed media personnel can search by book title, author name, or topic, and providing up to twenty-five (25) printed review copies, and unlimited digital copies, at the request of credentialed media.
Display Real Testimonials

Improving Visibility with Piece of Mind
The most common form of distribution service for independent authors is called direct-to-consumer. Direct-to-consumer, allows you to sell your book directly to consumers through a personal sales page, and/or other web-based portals where your book is displayed virtually.
By selling directly to consumers, you can maximize your royalties by cutting out part of the distribution chain in the expanded model. Both distribution options aren’t exclusive, meaning you can use expanded distribution and fulfillment to broaden your reach and increase your profits.
Why Online Distribution?
Distribution to online retailers is a reasonably straightforward proposition if you’re using print-on-demand production. Most of your sales will come from online retailers, and the two largest print-on-demand companies serving that market are Amazon’s KDP Print and IngramSpark.
You can order books from either service at cost for your own use, which allows you to maintain a personal stock for book signings, consignments, or direct-to-consumer website sales.
Yes, we provide the stress-free process of setting up all of your direct-to-consumer accounts where you can control all of the royalties while having a helping hand.
The other form of distribution we offer is our specific face-to-face channels that we can provide customer exposure beyond our website, and online retail space, which is our pop-up shop. Read below for more information.
