Total Printing Systems has partnered with Hybrid Global Publishing to offer publishers worldwide availability of titles.

Total Printing Systems and Hybrid Global Publishing are pleased to announce their partnership to bring worldwide distribution to authors and publishers of all sizes beginning February 1, 2019.

As a short-run book manufacturer, Total Printing Systems has many clients that are in need of distribution for their publications. “In order to add distribution to our many offerings, TPS needed an experienced collaborator to guide our clients through the intricacies of the industry. Our partnership with Hybrid Global Publishing was cemented due to the more than 30 years of publishing experience of HGP owner Karen Strauss. I feel confident our clients that rely on us for book manufacturing can now count on us for their distribution needs as well as superior guidance on the subject.” states Rick Lindemann, President of Total Printing Systems. Through the distribution program, clients will have truly worldwide access to 39,000 brick and mortar and online retailers, wholesalers, libraries, schools, and universities.

In the new collaboration between TPS and Hybrid Global Publishing, the author will have the best of both worlds. Today, the most important thing any author needs to know about distribution is that more than half of all book sales take place online via POD which is how HGP will help. However when an author needs copies printed for a conference, an event or a bulk sale they can use TPS to fulfill those needs.

The distribution services include:

Tier One – multiple titles:

• Up to 25 titles may be submitted within the first year. After the first year, the client may renew for a reduced fee for the next 12 months of up to 25 new titles.
• Hybrid Global Publishing submits metadata for each title which saves time and reduces errors.
• One hour of consulting with Hybrid Global Publishing regarding distribution, marketing, publicity, promotion, and brainstorming.
