"Our clients rely on us to represent them in the marketplace through networks that bring title information, content, and consumer purchases to the right place at the right time," said Firebrand President, Doug Lessing. "Firebrand continues to represent a diverse array of eBook, print, and audio book clients. We help our customers get content and metadata to market quickly and accurately, enable direct-to-consumer sales, and of course help them to implement and use the industry's leading title management system across their organization."

Lessing adds, "What's really noteworthy is the expansion of our Digital Wholesale Service, which offers eBook wholesaling services to retailers and aggregators on the publisher's behalf." Firebrand handles business relationships, distributes content, provides a consolidated sales dashboard, collects revenues, and distributes funds to publishers, which allows publishers to spend more time acquiring, editing, and producing new content.

Firebrand currently distributes to, or has wholesale eBook agreements with, more than 350 retail, education, and library outlets. Twenty new partners have been added in the last few months, including EBL, Flipkart (India), Follett, Gardners (UK), Scribd, and Wheelers (Australia/New Zealand), enabling publishers to effortlessly expand their reach in both domestic and international markets. More global outlets are on the horizon for the second half of 2014, as demand for English-language eBooks continues to rise.
