Here is how we distribute book differently than other publishers. We call our system "multi-platform." We publish each book in four versions: paperback, hard cover, eBook and audio book. I'm not aware of any publisher whose distribution system exceeds ours.
We place the eBooks on approximately approximately 100 distribution sites like, and including: Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook, Apple's iBooks, Kobo and Etc. (See a few below)
We print (at our expense) a minimum of 2,000 copies of each book we choose for publication. This is to keep ahead of the curve with distribution.
We feed our product data through our distribution channels to all of the key retailers in the country including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-A-Million, Baker & Taylor, Ingram and all of the Christian trade (Family, Mardel, Christian Book Distributors, Send the Light, etc.) through Advocate Distribution Solutions.
Retailers place their orders with Advocate before 1:00 p.m., and their order prints and ships the same day. Advocate buys the books, CDs and DVDs from us (the publisher) at a discount off retail, subtracts the print cost from the gross amount and sends the balance to us (the publisher.)
We actually stock in Book Stores anywhere from 100-2,000 books nationwide for each book we publish within 120 days of finished product.
Authors receive royalties of 70% of our publishing net profit for sales of eBooks; audio books; hard cover books; and 60% of our net profit for perfect-bound (paperback) books. That's 70% and 60% of publisher's net--after printing, promoting, and retailer's discount costs. These royalties are paid quarterly.
The bottom line: Approximately 100,000 online and offline stores from Barnes & Noble to the smallest mom and pop Christian bookstore will receive notification of, and have access to your book.
