distribution

At this time, Gold Tiger Media does not sell directly to the public. Our titles are made available to retailers, bookstores, libraries, and platforms worldwide through established wholesale and platform networks, including the Ingram distribution network, Amazon’s retail ecosystem, and selected digital and audio aggregators. This approach ensures wide availability, professional fulfillment, and consistent service levels for our trade partners and readers.

How our books reach the market

We publish in print and digital formats and route availability through major book-trade channels. In practice, this means your usual wholesale accounts can order our titles by ISBN via Ingram’s global network, while Amazon lists are supplied and fulfilled within Amazon’s retail infrastructure. For ebooks and audiobooks, we use vetted aggregators to deliver to leading online stores and listening apps, streamlining metadata, pricing, and territorial rights.

Coverage and availability

Our distribution model is designed for global reach. Print titles are enabled for order wherever Ingram’s network is active (subject to local policies and retailer demand). Digital editions are delivered to the principal ebook marketplaces, and audio editions are supplied to major listening platforms through our aggregator partners. Title availability may vary by region due to rights, taxes, or platform policies, but our goal is to maintain consistent international coverage.

Print on demand, stock, and lead times

To keep backlist titles constantly available, we rely primarily on print-on-demand (POD) within the wholesale network. POD allows retailers and libraries to order copies as needed, while larger orders can be routed through standard wholesale channels. Lead times are typically comparable to other trade POD titles; exact fulfillment times depend on the retailer’s service level and the shipping options they select.

Metadata, pricing, and territories

We manage industry-standard metadata (title data, BISAC/BIC subject codes, descriptions, keywords, and territorial rights) to support accurate listing and discovery. List prices are set by Gold Tiger Media in the primary sales currencies; retailers may apply their own promotions or local conversions in line with their policies. Territorial rights and pricing are reviewed on an ongoing basis to reflect market conditions and platform rules.

Returns and retailer policies

Returns, discounts, and invoicing are governed by the distributor’s/retailer’s own terms. As a general rule, trade accounts should refer to their Ingram or Amazon business interface for the applicable discount, returnability status, and credit procedures. For libraries and institutional buyers, acquisitions follow the policies of their preferred suppliers.

Digital and audio platforms

For ebooks, we distribute to leading online bookstores through approved aggregators that handle ingestion, updates, and storefront delivery. For audiobooks, we work with audio aggregators that deliver to the principal listening platforms and subscription services. This ensures synchronized metadata, global availability where permitted, and consolidated reporting.

Quality and updates

We maintain a continuous improvement process for files, covers, and metadata. Corrections and updates are propagated through the distribution network so that downstream retailers receive the latest version. Where a platform imposes additional requirements (accessibility, content categorization, or safety policies), we adapt our files and listings accordingly.

Trade inquiries

Bookstores, wholesalers, libraries, and platform partners who need title data, advance information, or bulk ordering guidance can contact us at info@goldtigermedia.com.
