Reach you can rely on

Global reach, on a foundation you can trust

The same professional distribution networks that carry major publishers' titles can carry yours, giving your book credible, worldwide availability from day one.

Trusted channels

Your title is made available through the bookstores, retailers and library systems readers already know and use, not obscure back-channels.

Genuine global reach

Print-on-demand and digital distribution mean a reader in another country can order your book as easily as one down the road.

Your rights, protected

Wide distribution never costs you ownership. You keep 100% of your rights and royalties, guaranteed in writing, across every channel.
