About Global Book Sales
Sales and Distribution
Global Book Sales is an independent sales and distribution company. We are small enough to be nimble and responsive, but experienced and well-connected enough to achieve impressive results. Working with trusted partners all around the world, we use established networks and passionate sales agents to grow our customer base and maximise sales for all our publishers.
David Wightman, Managing Director, was previously Group International Sales Director at Bloomsbury Publishing, Sales, Marketing and Rights Director at A&C Black Publishers, and UK Academic Sales Manager at Oxford University Press. He established Global Book Sales in 2011.
Nielson BookData
We also work with Nielsen BookData to offer the Nielsen BookData Enhanced Service at preferential rates to Global Book Sales’ publishers. The Nielsen BookData Enhanced Service enables publishers to add enriched metadata to their title records.
Nielsen BookData has a range of discovery services which are licensed to more than 3,500 customers in over 100 countries ensuring booksellers and libraries have the most comprehensive title data available. Accurate metadata has been proven to enhance search results, increase visibility, improve the customer experience, and directly impact sales.
Global Book Sales provide a friendly and professional sales and distribution service, with owner David Wightman always on hand to provide personal attention when needed.
