You can select to choose the Bookseller Distribution Service in the book upload steps when you start to publish by clicking the Begin button under 'Start publishing in simple steps' on the feedaread homepage. If you choose to sell your book through our Bookseller Distribution Service this makes your book available to order via the major online booksellers and for readers to order through the ordering services of major bookshops after published. This includes booksellers such as Amazon, Book Depository, Waterstone’s and Barnes and Noble, and ensures your book is internationally available to order for delivery by book buyers in the US, UK, Europe, Canada and Australia and worldwide. The largest bookseller sites often enable free delivery options for readers too. Our printers are one of the world’s largest printers, printing approx 7.5 million titles, and also undertake the bookseller distribution of our books.
Activating Bookseller Distribution: Once you have fully submitted your book to the site it takes the printers about 7 to 14 days to process so that your book is ready for print. Once we inform you that your book has been processed and is ready for print then you should first order and check an author discount copy of your book via your member book page to ensure you are happy with your printed book. Login to FeedARead and click the Order button next to your book title. Then, to activate Bookseller Distribution once you have checked a copy of your book, click Edit next to your book title and on your book page beneath 'Distribution Approval' on the right hand side of the page click the Continue button that you will see. This will take you to the page to click a button to approve your book so that it will enter bookseller distribution channels. It then takes approximately 3 to 6 weeks for the full details of your book to appear on the websites of major online retailers once you have checked a copy of your book and approved bookseller distribution.
If you choose to make your book available to order through booksellers your book will be automatically entered into bookseller distribution feeds by our printers. Our printers are one of the world’s largest printers as above, printing approx 7.5 million titles, they ensure books are available to order as far as possible for print-on-demand through the ordering services of major booksellers and retailers, including booksellers such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Book Depository and other major bookseller outlets. Our printers have the largest global distribution network of their kind with over 30,000 wholesalers, retailers and booksellers in over 100 countries so that your book will gain the maximum exposure in the market today. A bookstore quality paperback copy of your book is printed each time a book is ordered by a reader anywhere in the world.
Our printers maintain relationships with the most comprehensive portfolio of booksellers serving consumers today and their distribution partners are listed below. Books are print-on-demand, which is a non-stock model whereby when a book is ordered by a reader on a bookseller site a copy is printed for each customer order, hence 'print-on-demand'.
Most of the larger booksellers order from book wholesalers when a reader makes an order, such as Gardners in the UK, and Ingram in the US.
