About Draft 2 Distribution
A hive of editors, designers, producers and publicists built around one rule: the author keeps everything that matters.
Draft 2 Distribution exists because the gap between a finished draft and a book on sale is wider than it should be, and most of what fills that gap is either overpriced, opaque, or quietly takes a share of the author’s rights.
What we believe
The author owns the book. Copyright, royalties and final approval stay with you on every service we offer. We are contractors, not co-owners.
Prices should be public. If a service has a price, that price belongs on the website. Quote-only pricing usually means the quote depends on how much the buyer seems able to pay.
Say the unwelcome thing. If a manuscript is not ready, or advertising would be wasted at this stage, we say so. It costs us a booking and saves you more than that.
The hive
Editors with genre credits, designers who have worked retail shelves, audio producers, publicists and distribution coordinators. Every title gets a named team rather than whoever is free.
By the numbers
More than 500 completed projects, over 120 titles in production at any given time, distribution into 40+ markets — and 100% of creative ownership retained by the authors behind them.
