## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Manual Self-Publishing and Distribution: Authors individually format their manuscripts (e.g., in Word, InDesign), create cover files, and upload directly to each desired retailer's platform (e.g., Ama | Traditional Publishing Deal / Professional Publishing Services: Securing a traditional publishing contract through a literary agent, where the publisher handles all aspects of production, distribution | Not Publishing: The author completes a manuscript but does not proceed with any steps to publish or distribute it, resulting in the book not being available to readers.
Solutions: Direct Publishing to Individual Retailers: Utilizing each major retailer's direct publishing platform (e.g., Amazon KDP, Kobo Writing Life) to publish books without using an aggregator like Draft2Digi
