How your book reaches the world
From one manuscript to readers everywhere
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.
