No matter how you publish, understanding book distribution helps you make smarter choices, reach more readers, and *own* your author journey. Learn more on the Writing Mastery blog: https://www.writingmastery.com/blog/what-to-know-about-book-distribution #WritingCommunity

Don’t forget audiobooks and libraries!

Platforms like ACX and Findaway Voices can expand your reach even further—and libraries often order through wholesalers like Ingram or Baker & Taylor.

If you’re self-publishing, you get to choose your own distribution path.

That means more freedom—and more responsibility. You decide: exclusive or wide? aggregator or direct? print, ebook, or both?

If you’re working with a traditional publisher, they’ll handle distribution for you.

They partner with companies like Ingram or Baker & Taylor to get books into stores and libraries nationwide.

At its core, distribution is how your book becomes available—to bookstores, libraries, and online retailers. It’s what connects your writing to readers.

How do books make it from an author’s desk to your hands? 📚 That magic happens through book distribution!

Here’s what every author should know about getting their stories into the world. 👇 #PublishingTips #AuthorLife
