Distribution Playbook

Distribution is live, not theoretical: three titles are published and selling through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), in both Kindle and paperback formats, under Arva Ezzi’s personal KDP account. The four titles with completed text are queued behind illustration, using the same channel once art is done.

KDP Select enrollment and Kindle Storyteller Award entry are standard for each title at launch. Hardcover distribution via IngramSpark is noted as a to-be-decided extension in ezzi-bookshelf, not yet actioned.

The community-venue distribution model described in earlier drafts of this document — settlement agencies, libraries, cultural associations, the same venues the consulting arm’s talks use — remains a genuine future option worth pursuing once there’s a print run to place physically, but it is not the current channel. KDP handles both formats today without that additional legwork, and it’s the right starting point for a publishing effort still proving its production pipeline.

Operational detail for each title’s launch — KDP metadata, pricing, categories — is tracked in that title’s own metadata/ folder in ezzi-bookshelf, not duplicated here.
