Frequently Asked Questions

Book Distribution Explained
  • What is book distribution?

    Book distribution refers to the process of making your book available to retailers, libraries, and readers through various sales channelsโ€”online and in-store. Distributors act as the middlemen between authors or publishers and booksellers, helping your book reach a wider audience.
  • How do I distribute my self-published book?

    You can distribute your book through platforms like Spines. Our services offer all self-publishing tools, both print-on-demand and ebook distribution to online retailers, around the world.
  • What is the difference between a publisher and a distributor?

    A publisher is responsible for producing and marketing the book, while a distributor focuses on getting it into retail and wholesale channels. Some companies offer both services, but they serve different roles in the publishing process.
  • How much does it cost to publish and distribute a book?

    Publishing and distributing a book can cost $500 to $3,000 or more, depending on editing, design, and whether you use premium distribution channels. Many print-on-demand services include basic distribution in their pricing, but extended reach may require additional fees.
  • How do book distributors make money?

    Distributors earn money by taking a percentage of the bookโ€™s retail priceโ€”often 15% to 30%. This is usually part of a larger split that also includes retailer commissions, which is why authors typically receive around 35%โ€“70% of the list price in royalties. Specially Spines offers 100% royalties on all items.
  • How do I sell my book online?

    You can use a platform like Spines to manage all your sells in one place or you can sell your book online through platforms like Amazon KDP, Apple Books, or Barnes & Noble Press. These platforms allow you to upload your manuscript, set your price, and distribute globally in both ebook and print formatsโ€”often with no upfront cost.
  • How do self-published books get into bookstores?

    To get into bookstores, your book needs to be available through major wholesalers. Having a professional-looking cover, competitive pricing, and a returnable policy also increases your chances of being stocked by bookstores.
