Distributors are the biggest market any author can hope to tap into. They are an important player in the book industry. Institutions, schools, libraries, bookstore chains and wholesalers buy from them. The distributor puts out catalogs to their customers with a picture and blurb concerning your book. These catalogs are seen far and wide. They are what generate sales from the distributor.
If you publish through us your books will be sold to distributors such as, Ingram Books, Baker & Taylor or Spring Arbor. When they sell your book there will be “royalties” for each book sold. Royalty checks will be negotiated every quarter if sales are greater than twenty-five dollars.
POD is seen in an increasing popular way by the publishing industry. Books published this way do not sit on the shelf and tie up money. When a POD book sells anywhere, it is immediately printed and shipped. Our POD group prints through a sister company of Ingram Books, renowned as the world’s largest distributor. You book will be listed on 23,000 sites and sales publications.
Distributors can handle order fulfillment so you don’t have to. However, distribution does not impede your ability to direct market your work through a website, speaking engagements or your social interactions. Distribution is the greatest headache self published author’s face. POD is the greatest option for authors who can’t find a traditional and who don’t want to try and market their books to the book industry alone.
