Understanding Book Distribution

Understanding Book Distribution

Getting your book published is only the first step. The next challenge is distribution - how your book reaches readers.

Distribution determines where your book is available, from online retailers to bookstores and libraries. The main options include:

  • Online platforms like Amazon, where readers can buy directly.

  • Wholesalers like IngramSpark, which connect your book to bookstores and libraries.

  • Direct sales, where you sell through your own website or at events.

Each path has its own reach, cost, and level of control. Most authors use a mix to maximize visibility.

The goal of distribution is simple: put your book in more places, so it has more chances to be read.
