Shelf space in indie bookstores and 16,000+ libraries — without a Big Five deal.
Indie bookstores and libraries buy through IngramSpark, Baker & Taylor, and library aggregators — not Amazon. We set up your title across these networks with the trade discount and returnability options that bookstores actually order on, and get you visible in library acquisition systems.
Live in print + library distribution within 21 days.
