Book distribution
Most publishers including Print on Demand publishers will set up an author’s book with “basic” book distribution. This means the book will be available on websites like Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, and a fixed network of resellers and distributions.
At Stress Free Book Marketing and Publishers, we go above and beyond basic distribution set up. Our first goal is to make sure that your book is set up properly and thoroughly on all platforms, and the entire worldwide book network. This will allow you to take full advantage of your book marketing strategy and make finding your book easier.
We make sure all of your information (metadata) about the book is accurate, well written, formatted for SEO and Amazon’s analytics, and registered with the appropriate book agencies.
Note: Not all resellers or distributors will be interested in your book, but having your book available with as many book sellers as possible is a good thing. This strategy combined with our marketing strategy will yield results.

BOOK DISTRIBUTION
Once your title is set up properly we kick our advanced distribution into gear. This includes:
– Creating awareness with domestic and international distribution partners that we work with, and know of, to introduce your book. We will use our reputation to introduce your book resellers. (All agreements will be between the author and reseller.)
– Creating a list of potential domestic reseller opportunities outside of our existing network and proactively approaching this list to introduce your book.
– Approaching domestic and international digital resellers that we have worked with for your eBook.
– Approaching organizations that are positioned in your target market to introduce your book.
– Providing a list of trade shows and conferences that would be interested in your book and message. (We are available to discuss the pros and cons of these shows, and can train you on how to get the most out of a trade show.
– Creating affiliate relationships with all of the resellers for your title and use those affiliate links on your website and social media sites to promote your title and add an additional revenue stream.
– Pairing your book distribution with our robust book marketing program to promote your message and book.
– Creating a list of publishers in other countries who might be interested in purchasing the foreign rights to your title. We are available to discuss our success with selling book rights, any opportunities that are presented.

Here are several frequently asked questions along with our answers. We hope this gives you a flavor of who we are and how we work.
01. Who is Stress Free Book Marketing?
Stress Free Book Marketing was founded by Rick and Lori Lite to guide authors through the often overwhelming process of self-publishing and book marketing. Since 2003, they’ve built a deep well of knowledge and experience by publishing both traditionally and independently, and by creating a proven marketing and distribution program that helped their own books succeed.
Rick and Lori believe every author deserves creative ownership and control from the words on the page, to the design, printing, marketing, and ultimately, how they get paid. Their mission is simple: to give writers the tools, strategies, and support they need to publish with confidence and market their work effectively.
02. What makes you different than others?
What makes us different is that we combine the guidance of a traditional publisher with the freedom of self-publishing. Authors keep full creative control, retain all rights, and earn all revenue, while we handle the heavy lifting. We will handle every aspect of the self-publishing process, setting you up for success.
Unlike most publishers, we also provide custom marketing services, using the same proven strategies we built for our own successful publishing company. At every step, we focus on what’s best for the author, with clear communication, respect, and a genuine partnership. It’s rare to find an experienced publisher who has expertise in marketing and promotion.
03. Why should I trust you?
Since launching Stress Free Kids in 2003, we’ve worked with hundreds of vendors, bookstores, organizations, and thousands of readers. Our focus has always been on creating quality books and offering reliable service at fair pricing, a commitment reflected in the positive reviews our titles receive and our 100% customer satisfaction record across many services.
We are endorsed by dozens of industry professionals, editing and ghost-writing organizations, as well as IngramSpark under their Professional services page. We encourage potential clients to read our About page or Google Lori Lite.
04. Are your packages priced competitively?
Our package prices for both self-publishing and marketing services are extremely competitive and offer a tremendous amount of value to the author. We know how much effort goes into making a book successful and our goal is to deliver on that effort. All of our services are carefully crafted and detailed in writing, so the author knows what type of services they will be getting.
05. Can I just post on social media to sell my book?
Not one single strategy will deliver the results you deserve. Successful marketing programs consist of many strategies implemented and worked over a long time. Stress Free Book Marketing uses a combination of traditional and current strategies to help authors reach their goals. The results speak for themselves.
06. Can you help me set up proper distribution for my book?
Experience has taught us that selling books online takes a lot of hard work, knowledge, experience and the right skills. Throughout the years we learned how to create effective book descriptions, author biographies, proper keywords and other content that takes advantage of online algorithms. If you set your book up correctly and validate the writing with customer reviews and then promote it efficiently, you will sell books consistently.
Online selling is just one avenue for book sales. There are dozens of other ways to sell your book, and we will work with you to penetrate every channel of distribution that makes sense. We will leverage our relationships with book wholesalers, resellers, specialty stores, organizations, and bookstores to introduce your title to them.
Many clients tell us that we are "The Voice Above the Noise"

By filtering out the noise and providing clear guidance, grounded in proven industry practices, we help you stay focused on the most effective methods to publish and market your book and achieve your objectives.
