One of my readers sent an email asking about the book distribution program. He wanted to know if it was a scam? He quoted from some article he read where it talked about a distributor that went out of business trying to distribute books for small publishers. He said the article described bookstore distribution as a scam. There was in fact a small book distributor that went out of business because they didn’t understand what they were doing, which often happens to businesses with a bad plan.

When a small company of any kind, distributor or publisher, enters the world of big-time bookselling, they better understand the rules of the market and how to compete with the big corporate publishers. That is especially true when it comes to book distribution. One of the reasons for launching my book distribution program is it gives small and micro-publishers an opportunity for exposure in the marketplace. This is a program that is two years in the making and I would not even attempt to launch if I didn't feel it was viable and could be competitive against the corporate companies.

Book distribution into booksellers for small and micro-publishers is not only possible, it will happen. Those that want to throw stones at the idea just doesn’t understand the market. They know how to make money by selling unsuspecting writers and authors products and services that don’t work. In turn they want to attack those that are trying to make the Independent market a better place for all the small and micro-publishers around the world.

Truth is the best policy, that is what you will read here, my perspective based on 25 years in corporate publishing. I will continue to tell the truth and expose these scammers and their schemes. Book distribution is not without risks, but if done properly, it is a viable opportunity for some micro-publishers.
