For Self Published Authors
Whether or not your book fits our wholesale niche, New Leaf can do a great job for your book if you are ready to promote! Our
Total Inventory Management Program is one of the best digital printing options in the industry.
For authors with titles that fit our wholesale niche, start by submitting your book for wholesaling. Please follow this link to our
New Product Submission Info. Then you may add other services such as storage,
National Accounts Sales,
Easy eBooks,
Total Inventory Management and
Consumer Direct Fulfillment as needed.
If your book does not fit New Leaf's wholesale niche, New Leaf is in fact one of the very few full service distributors
which offers all of its many services to self published authors. This is a fee based service, however most fees are refundable if sales reach $10,000 in the first 12 months, and we look for titles which we think have that potential. What we look for besides a fine, professionally produced book, is a combination of the following:
- A well-developed publicity plan. You should hire a publicity consultant versed in the publishing industry if you are not a knowledgeable and skilled self-promoter.
- A strong knowledge of online marketing, especially through social media.
- An author who has extensive speaking and/or seminar engagements that will energize sales in bookstores and online.
To be considered, please submit the following:
- A finished book, or
- If you would intend to use our Total Inventory Management program, send Table of Contents, cover PDF,
detailed "sell sheet", sample chapter, and a completed Total Inventory Management Quote Request.
- Your detailed publicity plan.

For those who may be new to the publishing industry, the difference between a distributor and a wholesaler is that a distributor works on an exclusive basis and handles all sales to the book trade. A wholesaler on the other hand, stocks your books on a non--exclusive basis and is not responsible for selling.
