Ingram's Two Rivers Distribution is now the exclusive global distributor for print books for Podium, which publishes primarily e-books and digital audiobooks.
With headquarters in Los Angeles, Podium calls itself "the fastest growing digital publisher in North America" and focuses on genre fiction, particularly science fiction, fantasy, and romance as well as the sub-genres of GameLit, LitRPG, progression fantasy, and more. Podium also owns Bookstat, "the only real-time platform tracking online sales of physical books, e-books, and audiobooks."
Podium CEO Scott Dickey said, "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 collaboration with Two Rivers."
Podium publisher Victoria Gerken added: "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."
