Book distribution is the topic of this podcast and though it’s not sexy, it’s super important to the success of your book, whether self published or traditionally published. Put simply, book distribution is the channel that gets your book in the hands of readers. Amazon is a big example, but there are other book distribution channels and it’s important that you understand how they work, who they are, and how to get them lined up well before your publish date for your book.

Here are the links to my substack posts on Book Distribution that I reference in the Podcast episode: “My Book Is Written, Now What Do I Do” and “Get Your Book Out There For Sale: Book Distribution Options.”

In this podcast, you will learn the overview of book distribution, and the link to an interview by Podcaster, Joanna Penn of Author, Liliana Hart, who shares her specific relationship with book distributors. Hart’s experience will help you to understand book distribution very quickly. Take note and enjoy.

My recent interview with book marketing expert, Sharon Castlen, also included great information on book distribution.
