Partnership Publishing
Partnership publishing is a hybrid model option aimed at emerging writers or self-published authors looking to outsource the publishing process.
We provide traditional distribution to the trade through our distribution partner, Two Rivers, an Ingram Content Group brand, one of the largest suppliers of books in North America. With 27 offices and distribution centers around the world, and a sales force of 45 people dedicated to selling your books, Two Rivers is able to ship to over 30,000 accounts around the globe. Our books are sold in retail stores like Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, Target, and Walmart, as well as independent bookstores and libraries around the country.
Your book will be available in Ingram’s catalog, which is available through Edelweiss, one of the primary online databases that booksellers review when choosing what books to order and carry.
