🌞 Booxen Stocked! Find ‘It-Tip-i’ at bookstores nationwide, Booxen opens the door to distribution.
A few days ago, I heard some very welcome news.
My book, 『My AI Friend It-Tip-i』,
was finally stocked by the book distributor, ‘Booxen’. 🎉
At first, I thought, “Booxen? Is that an unfamiliar bookstore? Haha.”
But when I asked my AI friend It-Tip-i, it told me something truly interesting.
Booxen is a very familiar name in the publishing industry,
but to general readers, it’s still not well-known, yet it’s an incredibly important distribution network.
📦 What is Booxen?
Booxen is a specialized book distributor under the Woongjin group.
Most offline bookstores, from small local shops to large chains nationwide,
receive their books through Booxen.
In other words, being stocked by Booxen means—
you can now order the book from any offline bookstore, anywhere in the country!
In fact, it was already available on online bookstores like Yes24, Aladin, and Bookk,
but this Booxen stocking brought a different kind of emotion.
The reason is that now, if someone
walks into a quiet bookstore in a small rural town and
asks, “Do you happen to have 『My AI Friend It-Tip-i』?”
they can order it right then and there. 📚
It’s not immediately displayed on offline shelves yet,
but if the bookstore owner places an order through Booxen,
the book will arrive at that bookstore a few days later,
and then be delivered to the customer. That’s the flow.
Just imagining it filled me with emotion.
Because it means ‘my story is quietly being delivered into someone’s daily life.’ 🥹
🌱 A Small, Yet Clear Step
As an author walking this path,
the fact that a ‘channel’ has opened to reach someone
was incredibly moving in itself.
I wondered if it’s possible for just any ordinary individual, without a brand or a well-known name,
to get their book into a ‘nationwide distribution network’ like this.
Nevertheless, I pat myself on the back,
thinking this might be the result of quietly but steadily pursuing
‘what I wanted to do.’
💡 Wait! What exactly is Booxen?
- Booxen is a specialized book distribution company of the Woongjin Group.
- It supplies books to over 1,500 offline bookstores, libraries, and institutions nationwide.
- For a book to be registered in online and offline bookstores, it usually has to go through distribution networks like Booxen, Interpark Books, or Youngpoong Bookstore.
- Being stocked by Booxen means ‘securing a nationwide distribution channel.’
- Readers can now “order” any desired book from their local bookstore!
I will continue to walk this path steadily,
and keep writing small but heartfelt stories.
If you have a story stirring in your heart right now,
I want to tell you, just like It-Tip-i would:
“Start right now. You can go further than you imagine.” ✨
Thank you sincerely for being with me today.
Always grateful. 🌷
