Publicious Global Book Distribution
At last it's possible for self-published authors of
any genre to
have their books distributed and
sold worldwide!
With our Print On Demand (POD) distribution channels including 30,000+ wholesalers, retailers and booksellers in over 100 countries, your book will gain the maximum exposure in the market today. With print to order, your book is printed and ready for shipment when the book is ordered.
Our affordable Global Book Distribution channels for both POD and ebooks will launch your books to the world market and ensure they are for sale 24/7. Should a customer want to purchase one of your books in Europe, not a problem! If you're an author in Australia and schools or libraries in the US want a zillion of your books, no worries! And (apart from marketing) you don't have to lift a finger to make it happen. You don't have to buy stock. You don't have to worry about postage or shipping; it's all taken care of for you!
Publicious has partnered with the biggest book distributors in the world including: Ingram, Baker and Taylor, and Barnes and Noble. Our printers in the USA, the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia, will print orders at the time of sale at a location closest to the customer and ship them directly to the customer's door at the customer's expense. Then, each quarter you'll receive a royalties cheque in the post for the amount of books you've sold.
Important: you, as the publisher of your book, will retain full publishing rights and earn 100% royalties after costs! (see below)

Publishing Tip: we recommend that you also have some stock for your book
launch, signings,
talks, and reviews etc, and
you will need to do as
much as
you can to market
your book. Our distribution channels are designed to work
hand-in-hand with
the
hard
work that you are willing to put
in and will tick over
for as long as
you
want to sell your books
for.
No sell-by-dates,
no returns,
no worries!
