Publisher, Samuel Wilson Media.
Going Wide + Working Wide for indie authors.
Library-first strategy. Clean metadata. Repeatable workflow.
More than one platform

[Raymond Dierker @WorkingWide]

Publishing wide means reaching readers through libraries, independent retailers, and global platforms—not just one store.

Sometimes the widest path is also the most sustainable one.

Wide publishing is not about being everywhere.
It is about being 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 everywhere.

Clean files. Clean metadata. Calm promotion.
Systems beat noise.

Prefer to read it through your library? Working Wide is available on OverDrive and cloudLibrary — your local librarian can request/order it so you can borrow it free.

[Raymond Dierker @WorkingWide]

Wide publishing isn’t about being everywhere.
It’s about being stable everywhere.
If your files are solid,
your pricing is intentional,
and your message is clear —
growth becomes predictable instead of stressful.
Build systems, not noise.

If you prefer the library route: Working Wide is available via OverDrive and cloudLibrary, and your local librarian can request/order it for you to borrow free.

[Raymond Dierker @WorkingWide]

The best wide strategy isn’t flashy.
It’s consistent.

Clean files.
Consistent metadata.
Calm promotion.

Publishing doesn’t need adrenaline.
It needs structure.

Wide publishing gets easier when you treat metadata like infrastructure instead of decoration

[Raymond Dierker @WorkingWide]

“Metadata is the quiet engine: subtitle, categories, series fields, and author name consistency. Get those right and retailers/libraries can actually find you.”

[Raymond Dierker @WorkingWide]

Indie authors: wide publishing works best when it’s a repeatable workflow, not a gamble.
Working Wide breaks down files, metadata, pricing, and distribution—one calm step at a time.

“The ‘boring’ part is the superpower. Once your file + metadata process is stable, everything else gets easier—and you stop reinventing the wheel every launch.”

Working Wide shows exactly how to add a subtitle in Draft2Digital (and why it matters) — plus the wider checklist for library-ready metadata.

[Raymond Dierker @WorkingWide]

Do your books have subtitles?
A clear subtitle boosts discoverability by telling readers who the book is for and what it offers.

Examples:
“A Practical Guide for Seniors”
“A Calm System for Wide Publishing”
