Worldwide Book Distribution

Once you publish with LifeRich Publishing, your book will be available to potential readers here and around the world through various retailers and distribution channels.

Why Distribution Matters

Channel distribution enables your book to be ordered by and distributed to online booksellers and retailers around the world. This allows you to reach a wide audience and compete in the book marketplace

If your publishing goals include more than giving away copies of your book to friends and family, book distribution is essential. Although it may sometimes be possible to sell directly to bookstores, booksellers prefer dealing with wholesalers and distributors rather than entering into transactions with individual authors.

Help Readers Discover Your Book

While some retailers, such as the iBooks Store, are strictly for e-books, many stores offer the print, e-book, and even audiobook versions on their websites. Learn more about some of the distributors and retailers LifeRich Publishing works with to make your book available for purchase around the globe.

Please note: All distribution availability is subject to the vendor’s discretion. LifeRich Publishing cannot guarantee that an author’s title will be accepted by any of the following vendors.
