DRM or Digital “Restrictions” Management is insidious. Thank you!

Mark Williams International Digital Publishing is currently publishing and distributing on the major platforms, but we launch our own e-store next month, with the option to buy our client titles in any format, DRM-free, and from anywhere in the world.

We’re not expecting to give Amazon sleepless nights (in fact they will remain our biggest distributor) but we do intend to compete in all those parts of the world Amazon has declared off limits, or is demanding a $2 surcharge for delivery.

We also have our Crossing The Pond initiative which involves us handling the UK and European sales of self-pubbed US authors doing well over there but making no inroads into the UK market. So far we’ve been able to get US authors significant chart positions on Amazon in a very short space of time.

The next step is to set up our US arm and give successful UK indie authors a boost over there.

With our new e-store next month we hope to reach the rest of the world.
