Why Distribution Matters

A great book only sells if readers can buy it.

Publishing success depends on discoverability and availability. A book that's hard to find, out of stock, or missing from the stores readers use loses sales it should have made.

InkTide handles the technical side of distribution — ISBNs, metadata, pricing, file preparation and retail listings — so your book is available in the right formats, in the right stores, in the right countries.
