Apple Books alone has 800 million credit cards attached to iTunes. Kobo dominates Canada and Europe. Libraries buy through Ingram. Readers who don’t use Amazon still buy books — just not yours, if you’re only on KDP.
Wide distribution has a lot of moving parts. Here’s exactly what we manage on every project — so you don’t have to learn any of it.
Full IngramSpark account creation and configuration — publisher account, title setup, discount structure, and return policy set to maximise bookstore orders.
Print-ready PDFs and EPUB files prepared to IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, and Google Play specs — all formats from a single InDesign source, zero rework per platform.
Title, subtitle, description, BISAC categories, keywords, and contributor data optimised for discoverability on every platform — not just copied from your Amazon listing.
Pricing set by territory — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and ROW — with correct local currency, VAT handling, and competitive positioning for each market.
OverDrive, Hoopla, and Bibliotheca distribution configured — so librarians can find, purchase, and lend your book to their patrons in both digital and print formats.
Discount and returns policy configured to the level indie bookstores require to stock your title — the step most self-published authors skip that keeps them off physical shelves.
Wide distribution via IngramSpark does not require leaving Amazon. We structure your distribution to run both channels simultaneously — no exclusivity, no lost royalties.
Single dashboard walkthrough so you can track sales by platform and territory — IngramSpark royalty reporting explained, payment schedule set up, and first royalty statement reviewed with you.
Thirty days of post-launch support — troubleshooting listings, correcting metadata errors on any platform, and answering retailer questions as they come in after your book goes live.
A clear, five-step process — we handle every technical detail while keeping you informed at each stage.
We review your goals, current distribution setup, and target markets — and agree on the right channel mix, pricing strategy, and timeline before any accounts are created.
IngramSpark publisher account created and configured. Title registered, ISBN assigned, discount and returns structure set to bookstore-friendly levels.
Print PDFs, EPUB, and cover files prepared to every platform’s technical specs. Metadata — description, categories, keywords — written and optimised for each store’s search algorithm.
Files and metadata uploaded to IngramSpark and submitted to all selected retail and library channels. Global pricing set by territory and submitted for approval.
Your book confirmed live on all channels. Listing URLs provided, royalty reporting walkthrough completed, and 30 days of post-launch support begins.

The authors who earn the most from their books are rarely the ones with the best Amazon rank. They’re the ones who are discoverable everywhere — on the Kobo app a Canadian commuter opens on the train, in the Apple Books chart a UK reader browses on Sunday, on the library catalogue a student searches for a set text. Wide distribution is what makes a book a long-term asset instead of a short-term spike.
Get your Kindle eBook onto Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble simultaneously.

Standing commitments on every wide distribution project before we accept your files.

Wide distribution does not mean leaving Amazon. We structure both channels to run simultaneously — full KDP royalties on one side, Ingram on the other.
You keep every penny of royalties from every platform. We are paid once for setup — never on your ongoing sales.
Your book live in all channels within 4–6 weeks of file handoff. We confirm the timeline before accepting your project and hold to it.

Mutual NDA on request. Your manuscript, sales data, and publishing strategy stay fully confidential throughout.
From first-time authors to seasoned CEOs — our clients use their books to build authority, attract clients, and leave a lasting legacy.
I've been running my consulting firm for 14 years and always knew a book would elevate my positioning. Hawthorne made it real. The ghostwriter they matched me with understood my industry from day one. The final manuscript reads exactly like me — sharp, direct, and full of the frameworks I use with clients. Closed two six-figure engagements before the official launch.
I came in with a half-finished manuscript and no clear direction. The developmental editing process was transformative — they helped me restructure the entire argument without losing my voice. The book is now the anchor of my thought leadership strategy and has been picked up by three business podcasts. Worth every dollar.
Hawthorne handled my business memoir from outline to Amazon launch. The project manager kept everything on schedule and the ghostwriter captured 20 years of entrepreneurial lessons in a way that is genuinely engaging. It's already ranking in two categories on KDP and my speaking inquiries have tripled since launch.
As a business coach, credibility is everything. Publishing my book with Hawthorne gave me a tangible asset I can put in front of every prospective client. The team handled the cover, interior layout, ISBN, and KDP submission flawlessly. I didn't have to touch a single technical detail. Professional from start to finish.
My executive team had been suggesting I write a strategy book for years. Hawthorne turned that idea into a polished, published reality in under five months. The ghostwriter conducted thorough interviews, the editor tightened every chapter, and the cover design looked better than books I've seen from major publishers.
I used Hawthorne's book marketing and Amazon Ads service post-launch. The team built a proper campaign strategy, ran the ads, and optimised the metadata. Within six weeks we hit bestseller status in two categories. The visibility it created for my startup brand was unlike anything I'd achieved through traditional PR.
