Orderable anywhere.
The difference between a book you can buy and a book that exists is a catalogue record. This is the stage that makes yours real to everybody outside this website.
Four things
that make it findable.
- 01
An ISBN registered to a publisher
Not a printing account in your name. It is the difference between a book the trade recognises and one it does not, and it is checkable by anybody in about ten seconds.
- 02
Proper bibliographic metadata
Categories, keywords, description, contributor records. This is the part nobody talks about and the part that decides whether your book is ever surfaced by a search.
- 03
Amazon, and the wider trade
Listed and orderable, so a shop or a library can get it in for somebody who asks.
- 04
Listings you can check yourself
Every title on this site links to its own retail page. You should be able to do that with your own book, on the day it goes live.
What distribution
is not.
Being distributed does not mean being stocked. It means being orderable. That is a real and useful thing — it is what lets a bookshop get your book for a customer who walks in and asks — and it is not the same as a pile of your books on a table in Waterstones.
Anybody who implies otherwise is describing a bookseller's buying decision as though it were a publisher's deliverable. It is not, for us or for Penguin.
Why the metadata matters more than the marketing
A book in the wrong category competes against titles it cannot beat and is invisible in the one where it would have ranked. A book with thin keywords never surfaces at all. These are settings, they are free to get right, and getting them wrong wastes every pound spent on promotion afterwards.
That is why this stage is done carefully rather than quickly, and it is the least glamorous work in publishing.

Every title,
and where it sells.
This is the whole argument for this stage, in a form you can test rather than take our word for. Open any book and follow it through to the shop.

Absolutely incredibly helpful team. Happy for feedback and to help my vision come to life! David and Arthur have guided me through the whole process and I cannot wait to move even further forward on this!
Jay McCabe - Amazing experience with Grand Publishers
I did a lot of research into different publishers before deciding who I wanted to publish my book, Life Is Full of Surprises, You Don’t Know What’s Around the Corner, and Grand Publishers came out on top for me. What can I say about Grand Publishers? They have delivered everything that was agreed when I first signed up with them. Jason, David and the whole team have supported me every step of the way throughout the publishing process, from getting the book ready for publication to the marketing and promotional side. I would like to say a huge thank you to Jason, David and the entire Grand Publishers team for all your hard work, support and encouragement. It has been fantastic having you alongside me on this journey. I’m extremely proud to see my book published, and I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with you all as we work towards Seasons 3 & 4. Thank you, Grand Publishers, for believing in my work and supporting me every step of the way. Here’s to the next chapter! 🚀
Jay Robertson - First time author
I am in the process of having my first children’s book published by Grand Publishers. As a new author I required guidance and advice in order to bring my book up to publishing standards. Grand Publishers provided me with this help and advice when I was introduced to Project Manager, David Alonzo and Marketing Manager Jason Parker. They understood my vision for the book and were respectful of keeping the style of the hand painted illustrations and author voice as authentic as possible. As the Project Manager, David Alonzo was my point of contact throughout the process. He was very open to answering my questions and suggestions during the editing process. David went above and beyond, guiding me from start to finish, explaining everything in detail. His patience was very much appreciated as was his availability when I required assistance or clarification on details. He was very responsive and would call or message whenever I needed help or information, despite his very busy schedule. His enthusiasm and love for his chosen career in publication, his professionalism, and his guidance for me during this process was impressive. His support and dedication for first time authors was invaluable. The service that David and his team provided was excellent. I would absolutely use the service of Grand Publishers in the future if I were to create another book. I would highly recommend using Grand Publishers.
Pauline - Grand Publishers especially David Alonsa were brilliant
Grand Publishers especially David Alonsa extremely helpful and talked me through everything. He was also very patient with me.l would certainly recommend you all and have already done so
Gail Simmons - Book publishing and promotion
Jason and David and the team have worked hard to get my second book into the public eye, and have made some really good social media pictures and promotions. "The CPO & The Wren" is now selling on both sides of the Atlantic. Geoffrey Spinks
Mr Geoff Spinks - I can't tell you how amazing it has…
I can't tell you how amazing it has been working with Grand Publishing. From the very beginning, the experience has been outstanding. When I first reached out, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to publish a project I had been working on for quite some time. Jerry gave me a call and patiently walked me through the entire process. He answered all of my questions and genuinely motivated me to move forward with publishing my book. I was then introduced to David Alonso, who became my project manager. He has been fantastic throughout the journey, keeping me updated every step of the way, answering any questions I had, and making the whole process smooth and stress-free. As a first-time author, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're hesitant about publishing, I'd encourage you to speak with the team. If you don't come away from that conversation feeling confident, then I'll have to call myself a liar! Thank you, Grand Publishing, and especially Jerry and David, for making this such a positive and memorable experience.
Booker Odena - Outstanding Service from Grand Publishers
I had a very positive experience working with Grand Publishers. As a new author, I really needed guidance throughout the process, from editing to preparation for publication. David and Jerry, who were incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive, made a significant difference. They took the time to explain each stage clearly and did an amazing job with the marketing, illustrations, and overall development of my book. Their dedication to making the final result as strong as possible was exceptional. I would highly recommend Grand Publishers, especially David and Jerry, who were fantastic to work with.
Juliet - My book, In my happy place.
Some while ago I submitted a raw manuscript to Grand Publishers. Honestly, at first I was cautious about their enthusiasm, in fact I thought it a sales ploy. How wrong I was! The project has been managed by David Alanza, with input from Arthur J Wayne the marketing director. At every stage I have been afforded full control of the artistic direction and have now got a highly polished book that I could never have produced. I'm now in the launch phase and the marketing so far is beyond my wildest dreams. I know that there's much more to come, but wanted to highly recommend anyone with a book that they believe in to listen to and trust Grand. To verify everything I've said, please search Vernon Smith I my happy place and see for yourself.
Vernon Smith - Helpful and professional
Helpful and professional
Elikem Debrah - Understanding and supportive
I worked with Grand Publishers for my debut picture book, and overall I had a positive experience. As a first-time author, I didn't know what to expect, and the process did take longer than I initially anticipated — but what really made the difference was the support I received from David and the team throughout the journey. They were responsive and genuinely cared about the project. They also took my budget constraints seriously and gave me the flexibility to make decisions that worked for me. If you're a new author looking for a publisher, Grand Publishers is worth considering.
Anne - Grand Publishing LLC made me realise that it is not always about money, they regarded my story as a painful piece of creativity.
I am a 62-year-old British man and partially disabled. Four years ago, my wife left me with our two young boys, who were just five and seven at the time. It was an incredibly difficult period in my life, and writing my book, The Two Faces of Venus, became a way of telling my story and helping me move forward. When I finished the manuscript, I found it very difficult to get it published. Some publishers weren't interested, while others quoted fees that were simply far beyond what I could afford. I was beginning to lose hope until I found Grand Publishers. From my very first conversation with them, I felt that they genuinely cared about both me and my book. They offered me a publishing solution that was affordable for my circumstances, and throughout the entire process David and Jerry have been outstanding. They have been patient, professional, supportive, and always willing to answer my questions and guide me through every stage of the journey. Publishing a book can feel overwhelming, especially when it's your first time, but they made the experience enjoyable and gave me the confidence to keep going. I am genuinely grateful for everything they have done for me and for believing in my story. Based on my own experience, I would happily recommend Grand Publishers to anyone looking for a supportive and professional publishing partner.

Great experience working with the new member of the team at Grand. David Alonzo has worked tirelessly to get the book launched on time for Father’s Day. Yay! My book ‘The Father’s in my Life’ was published on Amazon and other platforms right on time. I recommend Grand publishers for the quality of work they produce and the sensitive and considerate aspects of pulling together a finished work. I have a book to be proud of thanks to David’s patience and grounded approach to finalising the publication. Thank you 😊

David was very helpful especially towards the final stages of publishing answering any questions I had. Very thorough and patient and really cares about his work. I'd definitely recommend his help 😀

Publishing my first novel has been an incredible experience, and I’m grateful for the support I received throughout the journey. From the very first meeting, the process was clearly explained and the available options were laid out in a way that made everything feel manageable. I was assigned a project manager, and from that point onward the entire experience was smooth and well‑organised. During the editing phase, my project manager, David Alonzo, became more than just a professional contact—he became like a brother to me. I genuinely appreciate him. His professionalism, patience, and genuine commitment to the project were matched by the rest of the team at Grand Publishers, who worked diligently to ensure the best possible outcome. Today, my novel sits proudly on the shelves of major booksellers, Amazon, and other platforms. I couldn’t be happier with the result or more appreciative of the team that helped bring my story to life.

Mark Short - David
David! What can I say…. What an amazing person you are. I can’t thank you enough for all the kind words of support, guidance and encouragement you have given me throughout this project. I felt totally overwhelmed a few times and there you were to set my mind at ease and reassure me that everything will come together in the end. You were right! I stand here today with my first completed book in my hands! From illustrations, to formatting, you advised and guided me along the way. I felt like I was apart of a team! My voice and vision was heard and acknowledged. I can’t thank you and Grand enough and I very much look forward to our next project together.

I will be coming back to Grand Publishers to help out with my future works. That's a no brainer.

My identity as an author was greatly aided by Grand Publishers. For my genre and target audience, their marketing and branding team developed a strategy. They created an eye-catching cover, promotional images, and a unified concept for all platforms as part of their powerful visual identity. Their well-run promotions reached thousands of new readers and gave my book launch significant momentum. The best part was how they described each process without using technical jargon. Besides they monitored statistics and modified the campaign according to its effectiveness. By the end, my book acquired a level of visibility that I couldn't have attained on my own. I felt like a legitimate author thanks to their branding support.

As someone who had an idea but no clue how to write a book, Grand Publishers changed everything. Their Ghostwriting service helped me express my vision beautifully.

The communication was smooth and respectful, and deadlines were always met. I owe them my first published book!

RadioMystic - Really do put the grand into publishing
I discovered Grand Publishers on Instagram, I've been toying with the idea for a while. The ad alone spoke thousands of words, this was the company to work with. Right away Zane made me feel relaxed, he gave me so much to think on, my options, what I want from the company. There was nothing he didn't cover, he was so friendly, not under pressure, no pushy sales , went with the flow. He was so open and honest how things worked, what he can do for me, how would it benefit me and how fast I'd like to get my book out on the shelf. Speaking to Zane, I feel much more positive & powerful that I will be taken seriously, someone will be interested in my work and we can work along side each other whatever way I chose. If you really are ready to get your manuscript to be published, use these guys as they really do put the grand into publishing, you won't be disappointed
Lynne Gerry - The entire experience of working with…
The entire experience of working with Grand Publishers was amazing. I entered with only a manuscript and left with a finished book that exceeded my expectations in both appearance and content.

The cover design looked amazing and went viral on the internet right away. The way they helped me with royalties, KDP setup, and Amazon listings was what most impressed me. Everything was transparent and efficient. I would recommend them to ant serious.
