Ingram's Two Rivers Distribution will become the North American print distributor for Storm Publishing, effective in June.
With headquarters in the U.K., Storm Publishing publishes adult commercial fiction in e-book, audio, and paperback formats, and pays an author royalty of 50% of net receipts on both e-book and audio sales. The company was founded by Oliver Rhodes, the founder and former CEO of Bookouture and digital publishing director of Hachette UK.
Rhodes said, "What author wouldn't want to see their books on the tables of U.S. bookstores? This strategic partnership to add North American print distribution is a monumental leap forward for Storm. Our vision is to significantly expand the reach of our authors to millions of new readers. With Two Rivers' extensive network and the team's expertise, they are the perfect partner to turn this vision into reality."
Nick Parker, v-p of Ingram Publisher Services, called Storm Publishing's program "fresh, commercial and timely, and we are thrilled to significantly increase their profile in North America. It's exciting to welcome another passionate and creative independent publisher."
