Step 4: Distribution & Fulfillment
Distribution is when your finished book enters the marketplace. Dorrance manages fulfillment across the Dorrance Bookstore, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retail channels, handling orders, shipping, and customer service. If your book sells, you earn royalties with transparent reporting in your Earnings Portal and receive ongoing support throughout your book’s life cycle.
Our Distribution Process
Your book will be available in both our online Bookstore and extended online marketplaces.

Fulfillment & Ongoing Support
Once your book is released, Dorrance manages all order fulfillment on your behalf—including purchases made through the Dorrance Bookstore, Amazon, and other retail partners. Our team handles printing, shipping, and customer service so you can focus on being an author, not a logistics manager. For the length of your relationship with Dorrance, you will receive ongoing support, if questions or needs arise throughout your author journey.
