Frequently Asked Questions
What is Barnes & Noble publishing?
Barnes & Noble publishing means putting your book on B&N through B&N Press — their self-publishing platform — reaching Nook ebook readers and print buyers on BarnesandNoble.com. We handle formatting, setup, and distribution.
How is Barnes & Noble different from Amazon?
Amazon is the largest online bookstore; Barnes & Noble is the largest US bookstore chain, with a trusted brand, the Nook platform, and physical stores. Publishing to both widens your reach beyond an Amazon-only strategy.
Can my book get into physical Barnes & Noble stores?
B&N Press makes your book available online and for order, but stocking physical shelves is a separate, selective process that B&N controls. Wide print distribution through IngramSpark can also improve your chances — we can advise on the best route.
What is Nook?
Nook is Barnes & Noble's ebook platform — its e-reader devices and free reading apps. Publishing your ebook through B&N Press makes it available to every Nook reader.
How much does Barnes & Noble publishing cost?
B&N Press is free to publish on and takes a share of sales. Professional formatting and setup are separate services. We keep pricing transparent — see our pricing page or contact us for a quote.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes. B&N Press distribution is non-exclusive and you retain full rights and royalties. You can publish on other platforms at the same time and keep complete ownership.
