Remember spending months Googling "how to get my book in bookstores," only to find two terrible options? Traditional book publishers in Australia offers mean surrendering your copyright, accepting 10% royalties, and hoping they don't drop you after book one. Bedroom self-publishing means keeping control but looking like you printed 50 copies at Officeworks.
Kangaroo offers the third option nobody tells you exists: your book stocked in 40,000+ retail channels across Australia, the UK, Europe, and North America, whilst you keep 100% of your royalties and full copyright ownership. Not "available for order if someone specifically requests it"—actually stocked, spine-out, discoverable. We transform your manuscript into a professionally distributed book that competes with Penguin and HarperCollins on bookstore shelves, except you keep all your earnings.
Most authors believe they must choose between credibility and compensation. Traditional book publishing offers legitimacy, but you surrender copyright, accept minimal royalties, and lose creative control. Self-publishing preserves ownership, but bookstores won't stock you without proper distribution partnerships. We reject this false choice. Our book publishing service delivers professional distribution across Australia, Europe, the UK, and North America—books actually stocked on shelves, not merely "available for order"—whilst you retain every dollar from sales after platform fees.
Distribution sounds simple until reality hits: securing ISBNs for multiple territories, negotiating partnerships with Ingram and Dennis Jones, navigating complex international pricing structures, registering with Nielsen BookData, coordinating metadata across 40,000+ retail points, managing currency conversions, and understanding returnable stock agreements. Most authors Google these terms, panic, and either pay someone 90% or give up entirely. We manage these logistics. ISBN confusion? Sorted. Territory partnerships? Handled. Pricing strategy? Done. Metadata coordination? Complete. You write. We execute the professional infrastructure, putting your book beside traditionally published titles.
Complexity stops more authors than writer's block. Distribution agreements, ISBN registration, metadata optimisation, territory rights, retailer negotiations, catalogue submissions, wholesaler relationships, returns policies, pricing tiers, format specifications, print specifications, shipping logistics. Overwhelming, right? That's the point—when publishing a book feels this complicated, authors either surrender everything to Australian book publishers or settle for Amazon-only. Below is how we eliminate every barrier.
You write the manuscript. We handle the professional infrastructure, transforming it into a distributed, discoverable, purchasable book that readers find, purchase, and recommend to others.
Quality hierarchy matters. Readers forgive occasional typos if your story captivates them. They never forgive amateur cover design, improper formatting, or cheap paper stock. When your book sits beside traditionally published titles in Dymocks, readers judge quality instantly. We reject the "good for self-published" standard entirely. Your book must be good, full stop.
Cultural relevance separates engaging books from awkward exports. A business book written for American entrepreneurs needs adaptation for Australian small business owners—different tax structures, regulatory frameworks, and market conditions. Fiction set in London requires localisation for Australian readers who spell "colour" with a 'u'. We provide translation services, localisation, and cultural adaptation. Relevant books engage readers. Awkward exports get ignored.
Understanding our approach matters. Seeing concrete outcomes matters more. These deliverables aren't optional add-ons—they're foundational to professional publishing done right. Every author receives these benefits without exception. This is what you get when you publish with Kangaroo.
You retain complete intellectual property rights, meaning you license audiobook rights, negotiate film adaptations, or republish internationally without requesting anyone's permission.
Your book becomes orderable by bookstores across Australia, the UK, Europe, and North America through established distributor relationships, giving you a genuine bookstore presence beyond Amazon-only visibility.
After platform fees and print costs, every dollar from sales goes directly to you—no publisher taking 85-90% for managing what we handle.
Cover design, interior formatting, and print specifications match traditionally published books so readers can't distinguish your book from Penguin titles on shelves.
Simultaneous availability across physical bookstores, Amazon book publishing platform, Booktopia, Book Depository, and major online retailers, so readers can purchase wherever they prefer shopping for books.
ISBNs registered, metadata optimised, Nielsen BookData listings active, and catalogue submissions managed so you never translate publishing requirements into calendar tasks.
Paperback, hardcover, and ebook editions produced simultaneously with format-specific optimisation so readers can access your book in their preferred reading format across all channels.
Strategic pricing based on genre standards and page count that balances competitive positioning with profit margins so your book attracts buyers whilst you earn.
When bookstores have questions or retailers need stock, we manage resolution, so you focus on writing your next book instead of coordination.
Every author starts where you are now: finished manuscript, uncertainty about professional publication, fear of looking amateur, confusion about distribution. These books demonstrate what's possible when you combine quality production with strategic positioning and proper distribution channels.
