Common distribution setup errors that can limit visibility even after a book is professionally produced.

7 Book Distribution Mistakes That Quietly Cap Your Sales — publishing and editorial work

Editorial and production support for authors

Distribution starts before upload

Visibility can be limited by weak metadata, incorrect categories, inconsistent files and missing retailer requirements. Distribution planning should happen while the book is still in production.

Prepare each format correctly

EPUB, paperback and hardcover editions have different technical requirements. Clean formatting, correct trim sizes and platform-ready covers reduce approval problems.

Keep promotion separate from availability

Being listed does not automatically create demand. Distribution makes the book available; marketing gives readers a reason to discover it.
