- how it works

Your Distribution journey, step by step

Here is exactly how your project moves from first hello to finished book, one clear step at a time.

1

Prepare

We finalise your files for each format and sales channel. Getting the basics right prevents headaches later. We confirm specifications for print and ebook. Clean files mean smooth listings.

2

Set metadata

We write the categories, keywords, and descriptions that help readers find you. Discovery is half the battle. We choose terms real buyers actually search. Good metadata keeps working long after launch.

3

List

Your book is submitted to retail and library channels. We handle the forms and the fiddly details. We make sure every required field is right. Submission is where small mistakes cost weeks.

4

Verify

We confirm your listings appear correctly and completely. Nothing is left half set up. We check titles, prices, covers, and descriptions. What readers see is what you intended.

5

Go live

Your book becomes orderable around the world, in print and ebook. Readers can finally buy it. Availability spreads across the channels you chose. The store doors are open.

6

Maintain

We help keep prices, details, and availability accurate over time. Your listings stay healthy as things change. We update when you add formats or editions. Maintenance protects your long term sales.
