The power of on-demand printing and on-demand distribution can make your book available for unlimited wholesale availability via the following sales channels shown below (as well as the potential for many others, like Target.com, etc.). Your book will automatically be available through I-Page, the book ordering system available at over 25,000 bookstores and retail chains.

Your book will automatically be listed online with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other e-retailers for sale.

Outskirts Press will print and fulfill an unlimited amount of orders originating from any of these sales channels below, without any additional out-of-pocket printing costs for you, ever. You only pay for books you order yourself (and you don' t have to order any unless you want to). Your distribution-on-demand sales channels can include:

There is an $25/year digital storage/distribution fee, billed the first January after your book is published.

* The author's pricing plan determines the book's trade discount, which helps determine distribution. The author can set the trade discount from 0% - 55%. The higher the trade discount, the more distribution opportunities become available from the channels above. Wholesalers and retailers are not obligated to carry/stock/order all books. For instance, the book's content and subject matter play a very large role in some retailer's (like Target's) opinion of it. We have no control over a retailer's decision to carry/list/stock your book. Most retailers base their decision to stock/carry/order a book based upon three factors: Trade discount, returnability, and the book's overall strength/content.

At Outskirts Press, you set your own pricing plan, retail price, royalty and author discount. If you are not sure what pricing to select, we offer recommended pricing based upon your book's length.

Only Outskirts Press lets you customize this pricing with our amazing Pricing Calculator. You can change your pricing plan for even greater control and flexibility.
