Podium Expands into Print Retail Distribution

Podium is excited to announce their partnership with Two Rivers Distribution, an Ingram Publisher Services LLC brand, as their exclusive distribution partner for print books. Two Rivers Distribution was selected by Podium as the ideal partner for their initiative to introduce retail print services for their authors via a seasoned salesforce, given their expertise in supporting the unique requirements of independent publishers.

“Our mission of supporting trendsetting storytellers is at the forefront of our growth strategy for Podium so it made perfect sense to expand our capabilities beyond digital formats and into physical retail outlets in partnership with Two Rivers”, said Scott Dickey, CEO of Podium.

“Podium’s impact on the digital space has been extraordinary. We are thrilled to be launching their print program across the globe and supporting this new endeavor,” said Nick Parker, Director of Two Rivers Distribution. 

Although Podium’s business model will continue to be anchored in driving audiobook and ebook consumption, this extension will capture unmet demand through traditional print and further serve the needs of authors.

Podium Publisher Victoria Gerken said, “With a digital-first mindset that supports the cadence of modern storytelling, adding retail print distribution opens up an avenue of sales to expand the reach of our authors and grow their fanbases.”
