Founded in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2010, Bookwire has developed a reputation as an innovative force in digital distribution, pushing the boundaries of what a dynamic, full-service distribution partner can offer publishers in terms of sales reach, market expertise, and service. As a leading inter-national publishing technology company, Bookwire specializes in distributing e-books and audiobooks, employs more than 150 people globally, and serves more than 3,000 publishing clients, from large businesses to mid-size players and independents —with a growing list of U.S. publishers among them.
The Bookwire leadership team—including US Country Manager Brittyne Lewis and global audio business lead and VP of audio Videl Bar-Kar—is passionate about helping publishers develop and grow their audiobook businesses and tap into the continued market growth of spoken word entertainment. At the core of Bookwire’s publishing service is its plat-form Bookwire OS, which distributes over 1,000,000 e-books and audiobooks across hundreds of sales channels, spanning the retail, library, and academic markets and beyond.
Combining the best technology for maximizing publisher performance with a focus on partnerships across vital sales channels, Bookwire gives publishers the ability to quickly bring their books to market through a highly configurable distribution solution that integrates workflows and drives efficiencies. Bookwire also produces some 500 audiobooks each year under its WAY (We Audiobook You) program, which was launched to meet the demands of publishers who wanted increased integration of their production and distribution workflows.
With its range of global expertise, Bookwire is passionate about developing audio content from the ground up. The company is eager to work with publishers of every walk of life—whether it’s an established audiobook program that has more growth potential or one with untapped IP that’s ready to be discovered and developed.
