What Our Barnes and Noble Publishing Service Includes

Barnes & Noble Press lets authors sell ebooks and print books to B&N's loyal readers, both online and on Nook devices.

  • B&N Press Account Setup

    First, we help you create your Barnes & Noble Press account, or we work in yours. Then we set up tax and payment details correctly.

  • Nook Ebook and Print Files

    We prepare your EPUB for Nook and print files for paperback and hardcover. Each file is tested to meet B&N's specs.

  • Store Listing

    Then we write your description, choose categories and add keywords. In addition, we set prices that work for US readers.

  • Proof Copies

    For print editions, we order a proof copy. That way, you can check the paper, colors and binding before readers do.

Why Barnes and Noble Publishing Is Worth It

Many readers in the United States prefer Barnes & Noble over Amazon. For example, some read on Nook devices. Others like to buy print books from a bookstore they trust. Either way, publishing with B&N Press helps you reach readers you would otherwise miss.

B&N Press also offers hardcover printing, which some other platforms limit. So it can be a good home for gift editions and special formats.

In most cases, we publish on Barnes & Noble alongside other stores. Pair it with Amazon KDP publishing and IngramSpark publishing for wide print distribution, or see all our book publishing services.

What our authors say

  • Formatting an ebook for Nook is entirely different from Kindle, and I didn't have the patience to figure out another set of technical guidelines. Ordwick’s team handled the digital conversion flawlessly. My book looks beautiful on Barnes & Noble's e-readers, with perfect spacing and navigation. They made expanding to a new platform completely effortless.

    Rachel S.

    Independent Novelist

  • What I appreciated most about Ordwick was their complete transparency. Other companies promised they could get my self-published book physically stocked on every Barnes & Noble shelf, which I later learned was completely misleading. Ordwick was honest about how B&N Press actually works for online and Print-on-Demand, and they optimized my metadata so online shoppers can actually find me. I trust them implicitly.

    Jonathan T.

    Business Author

  • I wanted the print edition of my memoir to look indistinguishable from a traditionally published book. Ordwick didn't just use a generic template; they formatted my interior layout and cover specifically to meet Barnes & Noble's exact print-on-demand specifications. When I held the first physical proof in my hands, I was blown away by the quality.

    Maria L.

    Memoirist

  • Ordwick didn't just publish my book; they treated it like a piece of architecture. Every font choice, every margin, every marketing move was intentional and precise.
