Omschrijving
Most publishing guides teach authors how to publish. Few explain how the publishing industry actually works.
Behind every book lies a complex infrastructure of distributors, wholesalers, metadata networks, libraries, retailers, payment systems, and global publishing platforms. This book reveals that system.
Drawing on extensive publishing experience across Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Lightning Source, Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Tolino, Bookmundo, StreetLib, Leanpub, BookVault, and other international channels, Dr. Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman provides a practical guide to the hidden mechanisms that move books around the world.
Learn how global book distribution works, the differences between retailers, distributors, wholesalers, and aggregators, the critical role of metadata, ISBN ownership, audiobook distribution, international payment systems, and multi-platform publishing strategies.
Whether you publish one book or one hundred, understanding the infrastructure behind modern publishing can transform the way you make publishing decisions.
Most authors see the storefront. This book shows you the system behind it.
