Worldwide Online Book Distribution
Here at Pantheon Books Publisher, we offer you an extensive online book-distribution network to help your
book get noticed by readers and book buyers in the literary marketplace.
Once you publish with us, your book will be available through a number of distribution
channels: the Books in Print® database, our online bookstore, and two leading book
wholesalers in the United States—Ingram and Baker & Taylor. For orders from other areas of
the world, our international print network can facilitate the speedy delivery of your books.
Your book will also be available for sale online through external retailers such as Amazon,
Barnes & Noble, and other resellers that may pick up your book from the Ingram and Baker &
Taylor distribution networks.
Channel Limitations
- Author pen names must not exceed 38 characters.
Once you publish with Pantheon Books Publisher, your book will be available to potential readers here and
around the world through various retailers and distribution channels.
Why Distribution Matters
Channel distribution enables your book to be ordered by and distributed to online booksellers
and retailers around the world. This allows you to reach a wide audience and compete in the
book marketplace.
If your publishing goals include more than giving away copies of your book to friends and
family, book distribution is essential. Although it may sometimes be possible to sell
directly to bookstores, booksellers prefer dealing with wholesalers and distributors rather
than entering into transactions with individual authors.
Help Readers Discover Your Book
While some retailers, such as the iBooks Store, are strictly for e-books, many stores offer
the print, e-book, and even audiobook versions on their websites. Learn more about some of
the distributors and retailers Pantheon Books Publisher works with to make your book available for
purchase around the globe.
Please note: All distribution availability is subject to the vendor’s discretion.
Pantheon Books Publisher cannot guarantee that an author’s title will be accepted by any of the
following vendors.
