AuthorImprints helps self-publishing authors and businesses distribute books and eBooks

Self-publishing has exploded because of the Internet, not because brick-and-mortar bookstores are finally stocking self-published books. Today, more than half of all print books are sold online, as are nearly all the audiobooks and obviously 100% of all eBooks.

We help you select the best way to distribute your book or eBook using:

  1. Amazon services such as Advantage, SellerCentral (Marketplace), FBA, CreateSpace (now KDP Print), KDP, ACX.
  2. Other distributors or retailers such as IngramSpark, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Google, Draft2Digital.
  3. Your own website to sell direct.

Or if you printed your book traditionally—offset or digital, using a commercial printer—you have still more options.

In addition to helping you choose the distribution arrangements:

  • We assist you in establishing accounts in the name of the publisher (your imprint).
  • We complete and optimize metadata.
  • We consult on timing opportunities and considerations.
  • We coordinate with your PR firm, or your own marketing efforts.
  • We establish pre-ordering with stores that support it.
  • We identify and explain financial considerations: royalties, margins, pricing, retailer and distributor discounts, offset print runs vs. POD cost of sales.
  • We troubleshoot technical issues on your behalf.
