Epigraph Trade Publishing

Epigraph Trade blends traditional and self publishing models using the best of both. Our trade authors maintain control of their rights and marketing and receive full distribution to the trade. Their books are sold, in person by a field force of over twenty-five seasoned book reps, to over 1200 accounts in the US and Canada including independent bookstores, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Amazon, Books a Million, New Leaf, Ingram, Baker and Taylor, Bookazine and Chapters. They are featured in a catalog of new titles which regularly includes notable and award-winning authors and which is mailed to thousands of other accounts and to the media. There is no better way to launch your book.

Key advantage over POD publishing:

 Your sales will be exponentially higher if books are in stores when   publicity hits. Epigraph authors can more fully concentrate on publicity and marketing knowing that their book is being competently represented to bookstores by a trusted vendor.

Costs of trade publishing: 

The costs of trade publishing can vary widely. The Epigraph model is designed to help you maximize the return on your publishing investment. We provide the oversight necessary to help you make informed decisions every step along the way. Publishing through Epigraph will be less expensive than going it alone for most authors and organizations.
