Bookselling Without Boundaries

Through BookSurge, your book is given a unique ISBN (a sales distribution number) and is made available for sale through the world's largest distribution channels. Our authors receive some of the highest royalty rates in the industry, without smoke and mirror accounting - you receive royalties as a direct percentage of your book's list price on all retail and wholesale channels.

Retail Distribution Channels

Amazon.com
Perhaps no company has revolutionized the way books are bought and sold more than Amazon.com. As part of our commitment to helping you sell your books, BookSurge lists all of our authors' titles directly in the Amazon.com catalog. Due to Amazon's current relationships with additional retailers, your book could be featured on partner sites. Timelines and availability for these listings are at the discretion of partnering retailers. Only trade paperback books are listed for sale on Amazon.com and associated sites.

You earn a 35% royalty on all retail orders of your book purchased through Amazon.com and its partnering retailers that are fulfilled through BookSurge as new manufacture.

Since 1998, Alibris has been connecting consumers, libraries, and retailers to millions of new, used, and hard-to-find titles.
