As a full-service solution for self-published authors, Bublish offers global distribution of paperbacks, hardcovers, eBooks, and audiobooks. In order to distribute a book with Bublish, you must sign a separate Distribution Agreement and activate an annual subscription to Bublish’s premium Authorpreneur Dashboard. The cost of the dashboard is $99 per year. You retain the rights to all your work and keep 85% of your net royalties. Signing an Author Services contract with Bublish does not obligate you to sign a Distribution Agreement with us. If you do choose to sign a Bublish Distribution Agreement, however, your book will reach more than 40,000 retail and wholesale channels around the world, including Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Kobo as well as IngramSpark, which sells books wholesale to the bookstore and library market. The benefits of Bublish Distribution include:
- Free ISBNs—One ISBN is issued for each book format you distribute through Bublish (a $120 value per book format).
- File Uploading—Upload your book files to your Bublish dashboard and we'll take care of all the other uploads, including all the retail and wholesale sites above.
- Sales & Royalty Reports—View and download reports that display all sales and royalty reports for all your book formats across all retail and wholesale channels directly from your Bublish dashboard.
- Book Bubbles—Access Bublish's built-in marketing technology, which allows you to share author-enriched book samples and insights across social media. Each week, we showcase the latest batch of Book Bubbles to more than 600,000 readers as part of our Weekend Reader Marathon (WRM).
- Price Promotions—Easily schedule short-term price promotions for your eBooks directly from your dashboard. We’ll ensure your eBook's price is adjusted during the promotion.
- Unlimited Product Page Updates—If you win an award, get a great editorial review, or become a bestseller, we'll update all your book's product pages across all retail and wholesale channels. You fill out a form and tell us about your big news, and we'll take care of the rest.
- Book Orders—Need copies of your book shipped to an event or for your own use? You'll pay the same discounted price for copies that you'd pay if you'd set up your own KDP, Ingram, and Lulu accounts—but without all the hassle. We do not upcharge for this service. Simply fill out a form on your dashboard telling us how many copies you want of your hardcover or paperback and tell us where to ship them. We'll invoice
